local-infile is both a client and a server flag - both must be enabled
or you'll get an error.  mysql --local-infile=1 only enables the
client support for this feature. Your MariaDB server likely has this
disabled - perhaps as a security concern.

I would inspect your my.cnf and update the value if you need this
feature.   If you have sufficient privileges, you can enable this
dynamically by running:

mysql -e "SET GLOBAL local_infile = on"
