Paste your mythtvbackend log file too.

Sounds like your backend is set up to only work on localhost. Try fixing that.

Looks like xbmc isnt event connecting to the backend, let alone the database
15:51:26 T:140037542901504 ERROR: AddOnLog: MythTV cmyth PVR Client: Failed to connect to MythTV backend on homeserver:6543
in xbmc mythtv addon settings have you tried using the actual ip address and not the host name?

Yeah but there are two aspects, mysql has to listen on the non localhost IP address and so does mythbackend. This is configured in mythtv-setup.

if all your setting are right... you may have to 'purge' your mythtv sql server if that ip address tried connecting to many times...

I changed the permissions for user=mythtv to hosts=any instead of openelec (the name of the remote FE machine) and it worked. All of this was done in webmin.
Thanks to all for your help.

A minor note. Your mysql config has:
!includedir /etc/mysql/conf.d/
If I'm thinking correctly that means they wanted you to put your bind address line in the file in that directory (I think it's called mythtv.cnf). Not in the main my.cnf file. The main file might be overwritten in an upgrade (I think).
Settings in conf.d take precedence.
