Are you sure the 10gig port is working correctly?  Have you tried a
different port on the card or moving the card to a different slot in the
chassis?

I've had at least two TAC cases where the switch was dropping packets and
the interface counters showed hardly any errors.  The explanation I got
from TAC was that only errors that are attributable to a specific port
increment the port error counters.  Errors that happened elsewhere - like
going between asics or to the backplane couldn't be attributed to any
specific port so they were basically ignored.

A 7600 is about the same as a 6500 - right?  If so and your 10gig port is
on a WS-X6704-10GE card try doing
  remote command switch show platform hardware asicreg titan slot 10 port 3
error
  remote command switch show platform hardware asicreg super slot 10 port 3
error

If anything comes back with a non-zero value include the output from the
command in your TAC case.

Regards,
Lee
