Normally it should run fine. Otherwise please also check with your provider why running this isn't allowed.
What version are you running of Mysql.

I have this same problem. I can't execute SET NAMES 'utf8'; even manually in phpMyAdmin. I am using mySQL version 4.1.22.
ETA: Oops,
client version is 4.1.22, but server version is 4.0.27-standard. I'll try upgrading to 4.1.x or 5.0.x and see what happens.
ETA2: Yup, upgrading MySQL Server to 4.1.22-standard fixed the problem.
