Yep, only original DVDs can be used on Live (& the chip must be off): no imports, no "backups", no HDD games, no modified .XBEs.
M$ have actually said that the main reason for banning modded boxes from XBL is to stop potential cheating.

( surely the modified harddrive wont work without the mod chip on anyway )

Yup. An unlocked HDD will only work with an active chip. If the modchip is turned off, the XBox will not be able to boot at all if the HDD is unlocked. EDIT: You don't need to have the HDD unlocked to use it with a modchip though: the HDD can just stay locked all the time, whether the chip is on or off.
