Problem solved by removing the redirect and using the **kwargs parameter into get_feed_data.
For some reason Bloglines and W3C did not mind the redirect trick I was using, but Google Reader and others would not work with that. Purpose of the redirect was to facilitate kwargs, but as Chris pointed out to me, get_feed_data can indeed accept **kwargs.
