Permission test failed -- current permission is 0000

[Marc Tauber]

I’m getting the following failure:

permission test failed for /usr/sbin/mysqld — current permission is 0000

Other file permission tests are working fine and this has previously worked 
correctly.

Details below.

The permissions for the file are as follows:

# ls -l /usr/sbin/mysqld
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 11754400 Oct 11 01:13 /usr/sbin/mysqld

Monit is being run as root:
