Read only error

I know this should be easy, but I'm stumped.

I inherited a system that uses perl and mysql to read in a set of e-mails and
process them. The system is running on Debian and was copied from a different
Debian system. When I try to run the perl script to import an e-mail, I get

DBD::mysql::db do failed: Table 'table_name' is read only at ./parts.pl line
435.
DBD::mysql::db do failed: Table 'table_name' is read only at /home/inv/sparts.pm
line 140.
Can't lock tables: Table 'table_name' is read only

I get the same error when I run the script as root or the user 'inv'. So far, I
have:

1. Changed ownership of all of the database files to inv
2. Opened the database file permissions to 777
3. Changed the user table in mysql to allow inv full access to all privs
4. Changed the host table in mysql to allow the local host full access to the
database

What did I miss?
