With that DBSetOption, I can see that the command dbext is using is:

mysql -u root -D test -t < /tmp/vplBhqM/dbext.sql

I have previously defined some other mysql user and password in ~/.my.cnf. With the above command line, mysql, since there is no password parameter given, [I'm assuming] takes the password from ~/.my.cnf, which is not necessarily the password of the root user. I think this is a failing of mysql rather than dbext. A command that does is:

mysql -u root --password='' -D test -t < /tmp/vplBhqM/dbext.sql

Note that -p doesn't accept a blank password (it'll prompt), but --password does.
