I did a little more investigation here (yes, its been a while).  It
looks like the bridge is forwarding ARP packets but not IP packets. I
installed ebtables on the host and using that I can see that the IP
packets go upto the FORWARD chain in both ebtables and iptables after
which they seem to disappear. ARP packets proceed to the POSTROUTING
chain and then out to the other UML but IP packets never reach teh
POSTROUTING chain.

Just cant figure why it would do that, tried reading the bridging
code, that didnt help either.

Any ideas/suggestions would be nice. 

thanks
Shavian.
