When I activatethe wipers, front and back, no fluid comes out. I've checked the fluid level - full - checked the fuses and the relays - all ok - and I can hear the pump running when I activate it.

Get the car in the garage or on a dry surface and activate the washer/wipers. Check around the car for puddles of washer fluid, obviously you know where the reservoir is and the tubing runs up the r.h. inner fender to the wipers. The pump is mounted in the reservoir. Not sure how the hose is routed to the back but if you don't have it at the front I would bet the problem is near or at the reservoir.

No washerfluid on the floor or around the area, very difficult to follow the lines, I took the protector plate off to access the pump/reservior and can get my hand in there but the bumper is in way to really get a good look at it, I can feel the pump and it is warm to the touch and feels like it running when activated, I pulled the line off at the headlight wiper, no fluid when activated.
