# Connect to database
$toolserver_mycnf = parse_ini_file("/home/".get_current_user()."/.my.cnf");
$db = mysql_connect('enwiki-p.rrdb.toolserver.org', $toolserver_mycnf['user'], 
$toolserver_mycnf['password']) or die(mysql_error());

As far as I see, here is the problem. You connect to enwiki-
p.rrdb.toolserver.org, but that's the round-robin-service for reading, you 
need enwiki-p.userdb.toolserver.org because you use a user-database later in 
code (see [1]).

It is this way since we have 2 server for enwiki (many months now). And no, it 
is not a configuration-error :-).

Sincerly,
Dab.
