Is that first rule a bidirectional rule ("-b" flag)?  If not, then it
means that returning traffic, attempting to come from 10.0.2 back to
10.0.1, is being denied.

This sort of bi-directional rule is not needed when setting up masq,
because the de-masq process by-passes the forwarding rule check on
return traffic.  But standard forwarded packets must pass the forward
ruleset before they can be permitted.

Likewise the other router box should have a bidirectional accept rule,
too.
