Yes you did, but there's one small detail missing:
$ apt-cache policy
[snip]
1 http://www.backports.org lenny-backports/main Packages
release o=Debian Backports,a=lenny-backports,l=Debian Backports,c=main
origin www.backports.org
[snip]
The correct origin is "Debian Backports" according to o=...
(BTW, this reminds me I forgot to update this machine to the new
location, but the origin is the same ;)]

Right... didn't think of that. Ok, look at the file:
http://backports.debian.org/debian-backports/dists/squeeze-backports/main/binary-amd64/Packages.gz
As you can see the file is empty, which means there are no packages ;)
(replace binary-amd64 with the arch you need)
