It looks like I can only submit a permalink with the same domain as my TPConnect'd blog. Settings have the URL configured to be:
http://mtcs-demo.apperceptive.com/testmt/recent_news
These requests fail:
$my_permalink = 'http://www.nataliepo.com';
$my_permalink = 'http://mtcs-demo.apperceptive.com/testmt/';
These succeed:
$my_permalink = 'http://mtcs-demo.apperceptive.com/testmt/recent_news/2010/03/nonexistent.php';
$my_permalink = 'http://mtcs-demo.apperceptive.com/testmt/recent_news/';
