I think you are seeing the same problem that I had on my server with a 
setup similar to yours.

The WinXP PPTP client is subtly different from the Win2000 one (that 
always worked fine in my setup), and it needs some extra config lines 
for MPD.

Please find following my server's mpd.conf, as I don't remember exactly 
what the fix was (I found it by browsing the MPD mailing lists on 
SourceForge). I think it's those two 'set pptp disable ...' lines.

Hope this helps,
