What user id are you logged in as when running mythdb.pl?
Make sure that user has a $HOME/.mythtv directory with the correct 
config.xml.
Get rid of mysql.txt, you should not use that any more.
Test from the user that is running mythdb.pl whether you can connect to 
mysql with the user id and password that are in the 
$HOME/.mythtv/config.xml file
For example
mysql -u mythtv -p9uKbDz3G -h localhost mythconverg
