This looks like not being able to access the database ...

Have you checked the permissions of your Database ...

you can do by running something like:
tweety at moby:~$ mapnik-osm-updater.sh --count-db  --osm-username=''

--------- Check Number of lines in Database 'gis'
Counting entries in all Tables ( planet_osm_point planet_osm_line 
planet_osm_polygon planet_osm_roads )
Table planet_osm_point  =  21448
Table planet_osm_line   =  72588
Table planet_osm_polygon        =   5181
Table planet_osm_roads  =  14949

Depending on how many roads you have in the database this should give you 
different results.

if you cannot access the database, you might want to try to run
      mapnik-osm-updater.sh --grant-db-users=<your username>
or
      mapnik-osm-updater.sh --grant-db-users=*
