mysql.err is only for errors. General output will be in mysql.log. Also check 
if you have two sets of log files - I sometimes find that I've got:

/var/log/mysql.err
/var/log/mysql.log
AND
/var/log/mysql/mysql.err
/var/log/mysql/mysql.log

with only the files in the mysql directory actually being used.

Regards,
David.
