To me it look likes problem with dbd-mysql  
Probably wrong rpm installed or not installed accordingly 32/64 bit architecture.  
How did you installed perl dbd-mysql module via yum or rpm or manually ? Can you try to remove/install dbd-mysql and check if it works.

Hi,  
In my system was installed perl-DBD-MySQL-4.022-1.el5.rfx.x86\_64, I’ve remove that an replace with perl-DBD-MySQL-4.014-1.el5.rfx.x86\_64 .  
Now innobackupex works Ok.  
Thank you Mirfan.
