Creating a database using Symfony2 parameters.ini file on Windows 7 machine - symfony

Question

My specific question: How can I troubleshoot a failure to create a database
using a Symfony2 parameters.ini file?
This has to do with Windows7 and Symfony2. I am trying to create a database
after configuring Symfony2, and I fail. (Details: I am working on Windows 7
64 bit, xampp 1.7.7 with PHP 5.3.8 and Symfony2 2.0.14).
When I try this from a command line:
php app/console doctrine:database:create
I get this:
Could not create database for connection named <comment>jobeet</comment>
SQLSTATE[28000] [1045] Access denied for user 'root'#'localhost' (using password: YES)
My parameters.ini file looks like this:
[parameters]
database_driver="pdo_mysql"
database_host="localhost"
database_port="3306"
database_name="jobeet"
database_user="root"
database_password="[intentionally left blank]"
mailer_transport="smtp"
mailer_host="localhost"
mailer_user=""
mailer_password=""
locale="en"
secret="[intentionally left blank]"
I can start MySql from the command line (mysqld --console), and get to MySql
as a root user (mysql -p[intentionally left blank] -u root) and create a
database (CREATE DATABASE test;), so I think my server is running and I can
use it.
I suspect the problem with "Access denied for user 'root'#'localhost'" has to
do with it not having the password for MySql root.
If anyone has ever run into this before, and knows what to do, your help
would be much appreciated.
I attempted to GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES with the following:
mysql> grant all privileges on *.* to 'root'#'localhost';
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.05 sec)
mysql> flush privileges;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
I'm worried that is says '0 rows affected'. That can't be good.
Here is my config.yml. Plz let me know if you see problems.

You created a database named test, not jobeet.
