That sounds weird. My first thought was to see if the problem manifests as a receive filter programming problem.
If traffic flows when snoop is running but then ceases then its probably a mac address programming problem. Does it emit traffic properly? You can check that by snooping on a directly connected peer. That said this info probably wont help you much. But it might help a developer to fix the problem. I dont have these NICs so I cant help you much more myself.
