well if I understand the ERROR correctly - mysqld complains about the missing 
directory /var/libs/mysql-files. Does this directory exits?

well starting an akonadiserver for a test isn't that easy task, because it 
depends on may things from KDE. Just try to start the mysql db from the 
akonadi defaults-file should be feasible.
