Unless your upstream provider/router/etc on fa0/0 does proxy-arp (which they 
should *not* -- providers are not responsible for glueing together busted 
routing on ethernet!) for all non local addresses, your router will be unable 
to forward bits anywhere, which is what you describe in your posting.

There's no IP next hop provided in your static route, therefore the layer-2 
adjacency isn't created, and your router simply cannot determine where to 
address the new ethernet frame. So, toss in an IP next hop, see if it works.

You can keep the interface specified in the router (to ensure that you never 
forward to another IP nexthop out any other interface), but, I can't see any 
reason you'd need it.
