Mysql is a system account , and should not have logins disabled in /etc/shadow. There shouldn't be a password to enter when using `su'.

Why do you want to?

What are the permissions on mysql's home directory
Code:
ls -ld /home/databases
ls -ld /home/databases/mysql
ls -ld /home/databases/mysql/mysql
And show us your script, please.
