domain-forwarding

I have the domain http://dropbox.tombrito.com/ (on GoDaddy) forwarding with masking to www.dropbox.com/sh/k6ypvx4y4kf0gu6/rdjxQ1b1OL

It was working fine some time ago, but now the result is a blank page (although the Dropbox's favicon appears correctly in the browser's tab title).

The DNS manager shows me a single entry with the name "dropbox":

 A  dropbox 64.202.189.170

Any idea what's wrong?
