Scott, can you verify the switch ports are set to Trunks? The Bridges should auto-trunk. Obviously the bridge interfaces are acting in access port mode (Not trunk) when you plug directly into them, otherwise your laptop would not communicate with them. The question would be, are they transitioning into a trunk when plugged into the switch.
"show int trunk" will verify the switchport status and native VLAN for that link. Try pinging from the switch management interface (same vlan) to rule out routing issues.
