[SOLVED] mpdscribble refuses to connect to mpd.

Question

mpc and ncmpcpp work just fine. Both pick up $MPD_HOST, which points to a unix socket in my home folder. No passwords. A while ago, mpdscribble stopped working, and today I finally looked into it and it turns out that it can't connect to mpd. The only thing I get in the logs is "Dec 15 00:10:47 hydra mpdscribble[23667]: mpd error (5): Connection refused", over and over.
Any idea what might be wrong, or where I can get better logs? That's with --verbose=3, by the way.
