Are you looking at the site the calling script is on? I had the same problem spidering my site to build a search engine. Using "http://localhost/"; instead of the site address got it working. I find that file() works fine on external pages but falls over (in exactly the same way as yours) when accessing local pages by web address instead of localhost. At the time my guess was that it was something to do with the firewall thinking it was being spoofed (external call with an internal IP address), but I'm a bit out of my depth here so that could be complete bollocks. Anyway, hope this is of some help.
