Does anyone know why I get this error when running mysqlimport?
mysqlimport -u someone -pwhatever --columns=a,b,c,d,e bar /var/tmp/baz.sql
mysqlimport: Error: 1045, Access denied for user 'someone'@'%' (using password: YES), when using table: baz
However...
mysql -u someone -pwhatever

You can avoid the need for the extra privileges by using the --local parameter to mysqlimport:
--local, -L
Read input files locally from the client host.
OK, it turns out that the FILE privilege is a "global" privilege, which apparently means you can't selectively enable it on certain databases, tables. etc. That's why my previous grant statement on bar.* had no effect:
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON `bar`.* TO 'someone'@'%'
You need to grant FILE privileges on *.*:
GRANT FILE ON *.* to 'someone'@'%';
Hope this helps someone.
Some would instead opt for this command, skipping the extra FILE grant.
mysql -u username -p <yourdbname> < yourfile.sql
mysqlimport is a command-line interface to the LOAD DATA INFILE statement, for which you need the 'FILE' privilege (server level).
From LOAD DATA INFILE syntax:
Also, to use LOAD DATA INFILE on server files, you must have the FILE privilege.
