You cannot simply create the mysql.sock file on your Redhat system. This is not a standard file but a 'socket' through which a process can communicate with the mysqld process. It is used on the local machine (rather than comunicating directly via tcp) because it's more efficient.

To be honest it looks like you've got 2 different versions of mysql on the your Redhat box and the mysqldump you are running is not from the same base install as the server.

Can you do a 'ps -elf' and check which mysqld (or possibly safe_mysqld) is currently running? Make sure its the one in /usr/local/mysql/bin. If it is then you need to check to see if the 'default socket file' has been overridden. This could of been done on the command line when mysqld was started or in the 'my.cnf' file. The 'my.cnf' file unfortunately could again be in a standard location (/etc/my.cnf, /etc/mysql/my.cnf, /usr/local/mysql/mf.cnf etc etc) or could be specified on the command line.
