According to: 

http://almien.co.uk/OSM/Tools/Coord/?x=560&y=577&z=10 
10/560/577.png -> Centre: -22.431206, 17.050781

http://almien.co.uk/OSM/Tools/Coord/?x=510&y=511&z=10 
10/510/511.png -> Centre: 0.175780, -0.527344

The 10/560/577.png tile seems to match the co-ordinates which you wanted
to render and look at. This suggests the problem is somewhere in your
openlayers setup and not the tile rendering.
