Andreas' note here brings up another point, Mike.  In my (not always)  
humble opinion, it would help you a lot to mentally and physically
separate the functions of routing and filtering.  Your NAT and
forwarding rules should be in one file, and your packet filtering in
another.  That allows you to isolate the sources of trouble, as well
as keep those functions separate in your head.  In this case, for
instance, it would have been very desirable to shut down packet
filtering entirely to ensure that it was not at fault, while leaving
forwarding/routing rules active.

I have two sets of rules, living at /etc/init.d/router and
/etc/init.d/firewall, for this reason.  This also makes it safe to
tinker with my routing rules without momentarily leaving my system
unprotected.
