Cannot GRANT any access to new users for some reason

Hi,

I'm connecting as root to my DB from a GCE instance.  I've added a user.  However, it won't let me GRANT that user any privileges.  I keep getting Error 1044 Access Denied.

You can see that I have a 'testuser'@'%':

mysql> SELECT User, Host, Password FROM mysql.user;

+----------+-----------+-------------------------------------------+

| User     | Host      | Password                                  |

+----------+-----------+-------------------------------------------+

| root     | localhost |                                           |

| root     | 127.0.0.1 |                                           |

| root     | ::1       |                                           |

|          | localhost |                                           |

| root     | %         | * LSKDFLKJDFSLKJSDFLJKLKSJFDJKLJKLFSDLJKF |

| testuser | %         | *2470C0C06DEE42FD1618BB99005ADCA2EC9D1E19 |

+----------+-----------+-------------------------------------------+

Here are some of the things I've tried:

mysql> GRANT ALL ON drupal.* TO  'testuser'@'%';

ERROR 1044 (42000): Access denied for user 'root'@'%' to database 'drupal'

mysql> GRANT ALL ON `%`.* TO  'testuser'@'%';

ERROR 1044 (42000): Access denied for user 'root'@'%' to database '%'

mysql> GRANT SELECT,INSERT,UPDATE,DELETE,CREATE,DROP ON drupal.* TO 'testuser'@'%';

ERROR 1044 (42000): Access denied for user 'root'@'%' to database 'drupal'

Note that I was able to create the drupal db and add tables to it (as root).  Any ideas?

Thanks!
