Works nicely here with a Hauppauge (Technotrend) 1.3, a Stab HH-120 rotor and 
vdr-1.3.4. 
Check your settings (diseqc.conf, rotor-plugin, LNB) again!
As my dish is sufficiently well alligned to the south I position directly via 
the "goto xy". Make also sure, that the settings for your location in the 
rotor plugin are correct. Entries  for longitude and lattitude are thought of 
having 1 figure after the decimal point e.g my longitude here is 9.2 -> 92 
and my lattitude here is 48.08 -> 481.
