Hi Eric,

I'm not sure how helpful this might be (it seems you've already taken the 
necessary steps), but here's a cut and paste from a production switch 
doing the same thing (a 5400 in this case):

vlan 4071
   name "VLAN4071"
   ip helper-address 10.144.16.2
   ip address 10.144.1.65 255.255.255.192
   tagged A1-A4,Trk1
   exit

HTH,
-j
