error when trying to restore database

[FockerFGAA]

ERROR 1005 (HY000) at line 21: Can't create table 'flashchat_bans' (errno: 13)

i have no clue how to fix this. basically my forum is wiped right now and i tried to do a restore from a week or so ago and i get this error. i would appreciate any help.

The problem is coming from an existing add on.

There is a permissions error in your database path, in all liklihood the directory that represents the database in which the table flashchat_bans exists has been badly chmodded, or there is an existing copy of flashchat_bans which you are unable to overwrite.

You will have to look at the db structure, which probably lives in /var/lib/mysql
