Some ideas: On the slave machine search for all files named 'mysql.txt' in .mythtv directories and check whether any are missing the correct information for the mythconverg database. You need to check you are connecting to the master backend's database and not running a second copy of the database on the slave. In the database (or running mythtvsetup on the slave) check to ensure the value for the setting 'BackendServerIP' is set to the correct IP address for the slave (and that the hostname value is valid) and also that the MasterServerIP is pointing to the main backend IP (hostname for this should be NULL). Lastly, I would try pinging the master backend from the slave to ensure outbound connections are working and that there are no firewall-type issues.
