Keith, Its to do with the order in which the call is handled. The dialer-remote name is what allows the incomming call to be bound to the dialer. Otherwise IOS has no way of knowing which dialer the call is for. The call must authenticate first, then get the remote name from chap, then lookup the dialer. No dialer remote name, no call binding. LCP will complete, but you will get no IPCP nego because the call has not bound to an IP enabled Dialer.
PPP chap host is only used as an outgoing alternative hostname if the device at the other end is not a cisco router, or there is some other reason why you do not want to identify your router with its real hostname. Get rid of the ppp chap hostname commands put the dialer remote names back in, make sure the local prompt matches the remote user and remote dialer remote statement each way and it will work.
