Check your frontend for mysql.txt and/or config.xml files (check
/.mythtv/, ~/.mythtv/ and /usr/local/share/mythtv/ amongst others) and
check that the database server IP/DNS name is correct. As you have
shown that you can connect from the frontend's command line to the
remote DB server, you would appear to have sufficient access.

Note that you should not be running MySQL on the remote frontend, as
this complicate things.
