I'd run the Windows application MySQL Administrator (a separate download
from MySQL.com) and try to connect to the database on your Linux box
from the Windows client machine, using the account & password you want
to use in your ODBC datasource.

There shouldn't be any difference vis. the privileges whether you
connect through ODBC or through the MySQL Administrator, so this is a
reasonable test. You can also administer the privileges on your
database through this application.
