I'm just using the mysql client program:

mysql -h <sql_server> -u <username> -p <databasename>

It prompts me for my password, and I get the error kicked back to me.

yeah, I'm just using the regular mysql client.  if I wrote a php script 
and called 'mysql_connect(...)' then it would fail as well unless we 
allowed the user to connect from the alias (www.sited.com) and the real 
address (www.sitea.com).  Which is weird.  I shouldn't have to open up 
*all* the addresses for a server
