I'm running into the exact same problem. In fact, I ran into a similar problem using phpBB and their "FIND" system on "DreamHost". The funny thing is, I help out on another site running phpBB on "Powweb" and it works like a champ. So I decided to do some investigating, and it turns out that "DreamHost" has disabled the "allow_url_fopen" functions in PHP. They say it's a security risk, and several RSS fetching programs would be affected. Furthermore, they are predicting that most host providers will disable this function as well. Apparently there is some way to use cURL to get around this, but I'm *TOTALLY* clueless when it comes to PHP. I have NO idea how to implement this, as to make this code work.
So I'm really hoping somebody is willing to pick up this project, and can design a workaround using cURL as a fall-back (or something to that effect). Not to mention troubleshooting the other problems some of you are running into now that you are GOLD. Until then, I'll just keep an eye on here and cross my fingers.
Take it easy
