Those are all the same as mine (except for the necessary differences).
So it looks like the problem is going to be a URL redirection.

Before we try anything more difficult, take a look in mythbackend.log
and see if it tells you anything.  If not, try increasing the logging
and logging level.  The commands "mythbackend --help" and "mythbackend
-v help" can be run while mythbackend is running to get help on the
command line options to do that.  Using:

  mythbackend --setloglevel debug

would set the logging level of the running mythbackend program to
"debug", and:

  mythbackend --setverbose http,network

might add the logging that would show a redirection problem.
