Nobody answered this one yet - it's odd you got 403 forbidden. Most of the people on SO who got that were using the Django PayPal IPN library and fell foul of CSRF authentication, but your CodeIgniter installation likely doesn't have anything like that.
Is the URL you were using definitely available (and not e.g. in a password protected part of your site)?
I would suggest connecting your site to the sandbox and enabling IPN calls from the sandbox, so you can see exactly what is going on. Also I've just released an alternative PayPal IPN library for CodeIgniter, which has much more logging than Paypal_Lib, and has a debugging mode as well for testing the IPN directly. I hope you find it useful:
