Here are some ideas.  Unless root is marked as a manager, it has no 
special privilege to see other's jobs.

So you could make root a manager and you must also say from which 
machines this is allowed.

You can use a wild card character '*' in specifying the machine.

The command "set server managers=root@*" would allow root to be a 
manager from any machine.  Note that this is not secure but would do for 
testing.

There is also a server option, query_other_jobs, that can be set to 
allow all users to see all jobs.
