looks ok, when the blocknotify runs from bitcoind does the out put say the same as when tested ? eg blocknotify done in 0.20 (the time changes)seconds?
joe@cypher:~/git/stratum-mining$ blocknotify: done in 0.397 sec
blocknotify: done in 0.436 sec
blocknotify: done in 0.338 sec
blocknotify: done in 0.404 sec
blocknotify: done in 0.393 sec
blocknotify: done in 0.350 sec
blocknotify: done in 0.310 sec
blocknotify: done in 0.412 sec
blocknotify: done in 0.424 sec
blocknotify: done in 0.473 sec
blocknotify: done in 0.395 sec
blocknotify: done in 0.361 sec
blocknotify: done in 0.385 sec
Also the passwords are different as you are meant to be using your passwords that you choose, not the ones in the tute.
You didnt use the rpc password from the tute ? you used the one bitcoind generated when you first ran it ?
If its the one from the tute page I would change it.
as i said, i'm just testing right now so i will change pwd's when my avalons come
