Try changing /var/tmp to /tmp.

What are the results of this command:

	$ netstat -na |grep LISTEN

Do you see anything listening on port 3306?

My suggestion -- as one who has fought with this in the past -- is to 
just use the native Windows port, from mysql.com.  If you really need a 
Cygwin client, you can pass flags to MySQL's configure script to build 
only the client stuff.  You can then use the resulting mysql program and 
libmysqlclient library to connect to the native Windows server.
