Looks like the VTP data connection is not coming through to your client. vdr2vdr works similar to active FTP. There's one control connection from the client to the server. For the actual video data a second connection is established where the server is the initiator. Most likely the firewall policy on your client silently discards all inbound connections.

Thanks alot for the tech support on weekdays though ;)
You might be right, although I don't know how to properly test it. All I could think of was to try a ssh connection from the server to the client, but that connection attempt hangs forever... strange. I do know it's not a firewall issue, since:
bash:~# iptables -L Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination
Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination
Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination
And I know that sshd is running from this:
bash:~# netstat -putan tcp6 0 0 :::22 :::* LISTEN 7778/sshd
The client machine is a ubuntu edgy machine, pretty standard. I don't understand what it is that's blocking the connection though, since there seems to be no firewall between the machines.
Maybe I'll have to ask around the ubuntu forums for some help... unless there's a linux network specialist here that has an idea what's going on...
thanks again,
