Hi - here's an idea. now that you've fixed your mysql permissions 
problem, why not drop all the tables in the database, delete the catalog 
directory (something like /var/lib/interchange/foundation?) and the html 
directory (maybe /home/html/foundation?) and rerun makecat with 
everything fresh and clean and blank?

good luck
