What *are* your firewall settings?  They are not listed below.
As I have recently read in this list, you would probably have to make 
sure that arakis has the proper iptables rules to allow traffic through 
that is destined for caladan (when you disable the firewall, you are 
essentially allowing all of that traffic through, when you enable it, 
its obviously stopping all of the traffic destined to caladan from 
getting through, and possibly all of the traffic *from* caladan from 
getting through as well....)

[snipped step#1 and step#2 as they have nothing relating to your firewall]
