Very sorry that I took so long to reply - had to leave early yesterday... I don't know why there is no traffic on eth1 - I think that is the fundamental question here. I will say that I only recently activated the nic to create a test network. The eth1 nic was present when I installed the os - I just never activated it. I did remove the bad route as requested. As I said earlier I added it just to see if I could force eth1 to talk to eth0. I added it on the eth1 interface via the gui and then removed it via the gui but it stayed in the routing table leading me to claim that it may be a bug. The only way to remove it was with route del. I'm digressing - the route is gone and as I said earlier the firewall is empty. It's an internal machine that I'm not too worried about.

No you don't need a route for the NIC installed in the system.
