I think that you still have an incorrect setting for at least one of
your database or backend servers.
As per this email thread [1], there are separate settings for the
address of the database server and the address of the backend server.

Quote from [1].

  Because there are separate settings for the address of the database
  server and the address of the backend server.  The connection to the
  database is made using the address in the config.xml file, either the
  /etc/mythtv/config.xml file or one in the home directory of the user
  for the frontend (/home/<mythfrontend user>/.mythtv/config.xml).  Once
  the connection to the database is made, the database is looked up for
  the address of the mythbackend server.  They do not have to be on the
  same PC.


Be sure to double check the steps you used to set up the your mythtv
backend for use by remote frontends.  More specifically be sure to check
the workaround that I list in my tutorial to change the backend IPv4
address [2].

'Hope that helps.
