This sounds strange on 2 counts.

1. I fixed the calling format issue long time ago. Mind that you have
to add a wildcard for it to work:

; Default port is 8081, we override it with -p 4499 in /etc/sysconfig/cld
_cld._udp       IN      SRV     10 50 4499 hitlain
_cld._udp       IN      SRV     10 50 4499 elanor
;
; Intel no-name experimental box, wildcard is for tabled
hitlain         IN      A       192.168.128.2
                IN      AAAA    fec0:0:0:1:0:0:c0a8:8002
*.hitlain.zaitcev.lan. IN A     192.168.128.2
                       IN AAAA  fec0:0:0:1:0:0:c0a8:8002

2. I see you using the port parameter, but when I tried that, Boto ignored
port and continued to use 80. The code formed a string URL without port
and then passed that to some HTTP libraries.

Since I have no clue about Python, I had trouble making their standard
testing harness to work, so I just copied the test into a local file,
and appended an invocation like this:

from boto.s3.connection import S3Connection
from boto.s3.connection import OrdinaryCallingFormat, SubdomainCallingFormat
from boto.exception import S3PermissionsError

# class S3ConnectionTest (unittest.TestCase):
class S3ConnectionTest:
    def test_1_basic(self):
        c = S3Connection(aws_access_key_id="testuser",
                         aws_secret_access_key="testpass",
                         is_secure=False,
                         host="hitlain.zaitcev.lan",
                         debug=1,
                         calling_format=SubdomainCallingFormat())
......................

t = S3ConnectionTest()
t.test_1_basic()
