adding plugin_dir to my.cfg returns error on mysql restart

I'm trying to setup and use "User Defined Functions"
(UDF) in MySQL. First of all, typing:

show variables like 'plugin';
 in order to get the mysql plugin path returns an empty result set for me. I tried specifying the plugin directory directly in my.cnf, under [mysqld], by adding:
plugin_dir=/usr/lib/mysql
(note: i created the above directory and chown'ed it
to mysql:mysql). After that MySQL could not restart any more.

Looking in syslog, I found the following: Jul 25 10:29:09 gx200 mysqld_safe[14480]: started Jul 25 10:29:09 gx200 mysqld[14483]: 070725 10:29:09 [ERROR] /usr/sbin/mysqld: unknown variable 'plugin_dir=/usr/lib/mysql'
Jul 25 10:29:09 gx200 mysqld[14483]:
Jul 25 10:29:09 gx200 mysqld_safe[14485]: ended

I'm using debian etch. Thanks for any help.
