Error nº 13 stands for "Permission denied".

Check the permissions of "/var/lib/mysql". In my system they look like
this:

drwxr-xr-x 44 mysql mysql 4096 abr 4 10:18 /var/lib/mysql/

Specifically, users not in mysql group should have "access" permission:

chmod o+x /var/lib/mysql/

I hope this helps.
