Here's a thread on the MySQL forums that discusses exactly this.
Here's the answer, posted by Ken Tassell
Problem resolved using the command below:
grant file on *.* to kentest@localhost identified by 'kentest1';

You might have MySQL privileges on the destination table, but you also need the FILE
privilege to execute LOAD DATA
, and of course the MySQL Server process needs operating-system privileges to the data file too.
