MySQL: Access Denied for Users to Database

I am trying to create a database on my remote sql server - clearDB - on Heroku. I linked to this:

mysql --host='<<cleardbhostname>>' --user='<<lsdj234>> --password

      

        
        
        
      

    

My username and password are derived from the result of running the heroku config. When I tried to run

CREATE DATABASE mydb;

      

        
        
        
      

    

I got it:

ERROR 1044 (42000): Access denied for user '<<lsdj234>>'@'%' to database 'mydb'

      

        
        
        
      

    

When I ran SHOW GRANTS for current_user I got:

GRANT USAGE ON *.* TO '<<lsdj234>>'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY PASSWORD '*asfe4545235' WITH     MAX_QUERIES_PER_HOUR 3600 MAX_USER_CONNECTIONS 10 |
| GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON `heroku_ljl4455lkj`.* TO '<<lsdj234>>'@'%' 

      

        
        
        
      

    

What's happening? How do I resolve this?
