Hmm, OK I know I haven't given much info, but first off is this scenario 
actually possible?  A bit of digging in the bridging howto suggests that 
it is.

Also I just noticed that STP is off in my setup.  Is this going to be 
mandatory when we add three vlans into a bridge? 

Thanks for any tips on actually debugging whats happening here
