Is there a reason you're unable to ask for the username and password before you grab the oauth token and secret? It sounds like you're losing your session between jumping back and forth. On your own computer, you're not an enduser going from server a to server b and back (and at least in PHP, you can't naturally maintain sessions across domains...I suppose there may be a hack to tweak that, but it would be inherently insecure...).
