Authentication error with RTSP

Question

I am trying to connect a Foscam FI9803P V2 to motion. The cam only supports RTSP with authentication. I tried 2 different settings in motion.conf which both result in the same error.

Using rtsp://testuser:testpassword@10.0.0.49:554/videoMain in VLC just works fine.

Any suggestions what I might do wrong? 

Config1:
netcam_url rtsp://testuser:testpassword@10.0.0.49:554/videoMain

Config2:
netcam_userpass testuser:testpassword
netcam_url rtsp://10.0.0.49:554/videoMain

Error:
[2] [ALR] [NET] netcam_start: Network Camera thread starting... for url (rtsp://testuser:testpassword@10.0.0.49:554/videoMain)
[2] [ALR] [NET] rtsp_connect: unable to open input(rtsp://10.0.0.49:554/videoMain): -825242872 - Server returned 401 Unauthorized (authorization failed)

Environment

Motion version: trunkREV561
ffmpeg version: N-74035-g4b90dcb
Libraries: ffmpeg, mysql, postgresql
Server OS: Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS
