You need a perfect earth to allow such a high current draw, as a starter motor requires.
Check the main battery/body to engine earth strap.
Can also be caused by a dodgy starter solenoid or the motor brushes not making good contact with the armature.

clicking battery normally means flat or had it the clicking is the starter trying to go but not enough power for it to actually work
thats from previous faulty batteries
try jump leads and another car and see what happens

sticking solinoid. I replaced my starter 5 years ago - £130 DIY, not worth messing with parts by time you got it on and off (esp on an auto cos its a pain to get bolts).
still perfect today.

This still sounds like a bad earth to me. When you moved the battery earth point did you rub down to bare metal or just bolt it to the metal with paint on it. ???
