adding the rule as perviously mentioned should do the trick.  the linksys 
routers and other such dont have the same mandatory ACL's on the internal 
interface like the pf routing would.  i used to have the exact same setup as 
you are describing, and once i added a rule to allow my 10.0.0.0 network access 
(even tho just like yours, it didnt have phyiscal access, it had to pass thru a 
linux router first), everything started working.

cheers,
jonathan
