Dataloader is not working for Sandbox

I have followed all the directions, like this:  

https://help.salesforce.com/apex/HTViewSolution?id=000004931&language=en_US
https://developer.salesforce.com/forums/?id=906F00000008kFmIAI

... you get my point.  

When I change the Server Host to https://test.salesforce.com then go to the OAuth sign in and click sandbox I get the following error message:  error=redirect_uri_mismatch&error_description=redirect_uri%20must%20match%20configuration

Therefore I tried the "Password Authentication" and put in my username/password (it still says https://test.salesforce.com in the Salesforce Login URL:)  

Thoughts? I've tried googling this issue and haven't seen anyone else encounter it.  If it means anything when I go back into settings, it will say "https://login.salesforce.com" if I do the exact process I outlined before.

Thanks - Sean

I have never used the OAuth method to use dataloader, but for the password authentication, did you use your sandbox user name and append your sandbox user's security token to the end of the password?
