Scott,

I thought those traces were wider. I ran the values through the PCB calculator 
and it came out to 6.4 A for a 20 degree C rise at 25 degree C room temp. A 
more reasonable 15 degree C rise gave 5.6A for the 100 mil trace width.

For 10A the trace width would need to be 230 mils and 20A would be 580 mils 
asuming a 15 degree C rise.
