Check the logs.  Be sure of a couple things:

1.  mythtv-setup on the slave backend has the *IP address*of the master
backend properly populated
2.  mythtv-setup on the master backend has it's own IP listed properly (not
127.0.0.1)
3.  You are *not* running mysqld on your slave backend/frontend.  Many
distributions include this by default and it can result in you connecting to
a local database by mistake.

But most importantly, you should check the /var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log
on the slave to see what it says.
