I removed dot1q tag native and that seems to have worked. Unfortunately, 
it caused other problems requiring me to set the native vlans on some 
ports to something other than default. In the end it's working but I 
just don't see why I can't say 'hey, got an untagged frame? throw it 
into this vlan for me...'. Maybe I need more expensive switches.

Thanks all.
