Multipath takes a little more that just setting the default route. You have to set separate routing tables for each interface involved in the multipath routing (though I haven't understood yet why they are needed.. the fact is that if you don't set them, multipath won't route). Also, even if you set it all right, it doesn't mean that if you send two packets to a location X, one will go through one interface and the second will go through the other. Routes are cached, and after a routing decision has been made for the first packet, packets going to that same host will go through the same interface till the caching time has gone by.
