I've not used MySQL, so I'm not entirely certain in what way the file is
question is used, but could MySQL itself possibly be deleting the link in
question?
also a quick run-down of what is looking for this socket and where, might
be useful, as I'm unclear why you would have your software setup to look
for a file in two locations... this can cause all sorts of problems in the
long run..
