The most likely reason is one of:
- heat-api-cloudwatch is not running on the machine referenced by
  heat_watch_server_url
- There is a firewall preventing access to tcp/8003 on the machine
  referenced by heat_watch_server_url

My debug steps would be:
1. Log on to 192.168.0.11, ps ax | grep heat-api-cloudwatch
2. netstat -taupen | grep 8003 - check the API service is listening on 8003
3. Log on to a VM launched by nova/heat, install nmap, nmap 192.168.0.11

In step 3 you should see tcp/8003 open, if you don't then either
heat_watch_server_url is specifying the wrong IP or there is a firewall
preventing access.

Hope that helps
