Does the "hostname" command show hostname with a trailing dot ?
Is a "server_name" directive in nginx's phpmyadmin.sitename.com
"server {}" block ?

In the proxy mode nginx can rewrite the "Location" headers using

proxy_redirect   http://phpmyadmin.sitename.com./   /;

but there is no similar directive in FastCGI mode.
