Hi
Are you sure that all the interfaces you have configured carp on have
link and can connect to each other? (I've seen similar behaviour
caused by defective NICs: receive buffer not receiving while send
buffer still sending - try ping on all interfaces) Is lo up? Is there
any other router on the same network segment that propagates the same
VHID with a better metric (i suppose that a VRRP router on the same
net could cause trouble if it uses the same VHIDs).
no answers, just questions, I know ...

Don't mind the questions! Just hoping someone will ask one where I say,
"I am such an IDIOT! Why didn't I think of that!"
Yes, it had link (I was ssh'ing to the configured interface). They can
connect to each other (I would assume if they couldn't see each other I
would have a MASTER/MASTER issue and not a BACKUP/BACKUP issue), I ended
up halting one of them to see if I can get just one to go MASTER when it
was alone, no dice. I did a tcpdump and did not see any other VRRP traffic.
