I have never used two separate hardware network interfaces on the same subnet and suspect that it may actually be trying to communicate back from the wrong one which is confusing things. Also, it doesn't make sense to list both eth1 and the actual ip address in bind interfaces but I would tend to doubt that would be a problem. Try taking eth0 down (as root - ifdown eth0) and see if that fixes the problem. Also, I'm not sure why some of the firewall rules include --state NEW and some of the don't - that doesn't fully make sense to me.
