The IP addresses assigned to the interfaces are not going to do you
any good.  If all the interfaces are in bridge-group 1, create
interfaces BVI 1 on both routers and assign IP addresses to them
(10.0.1.1/24 on router A and 10.0.1.2/24 on router B).  You should
then be able to ping between the routers and any hosts on the
10.0.1.0/24 subnet attached to either Ethernet interface.

Re-enable it if you want to pass packets to the 192.168.1.0/24 subnet.
