<Help with Content Switching Module for 6500>

Hello all,

                I am having very unusual problem with the CSM.  This is
what my problems.  I have my active CSM setup for a Fault Tolerance
group with a priority of 100 and an alternate of 30 and set to preempt.
Now for some reason I cannot get the standby configure to get the
configuration from the Active.  I did a debug and it appears the CSM on
the standby is deleting it's configuration and the active fails to sends
its configuration.  So I know the Active is talking across the VLAN I
have created for this purpose.  I can see the information coming up on
my debug from both ends.  Below is my configuration.  Any help on this
is appreciated.  Thank you in advance.
