[cobbler] Replication fails with "connection refused"

Hi Folks,

I'm having some trouble getting replication going under the latest 2.5 dev release.  I suspect there's something up with my configuration, but I can't seem to find what it is.  I cloned my master cobbler server to a remote site, change the relevant hostname pieces and the new slave server seems to work in itself locally.  But when I attempt to replicate from the master, I get the following.

Can anyone clue me in as to what might be happening?

(servernames replaced to protect the innocent)
