Your conf sound good...

Keepalived doesn't handle traffic it simply set VIP if you are using VRRP.
All the traffic is handled kernel space by IPVS code.

If you don't see kind of VRRP VIP flapping (appearing and disappearing) and if
ipvs rulez are displayed in ipvsadm -ln output, then the problem is other place.
Will try to help you latter (currently too busy). Please send me your
keepalived.conf
files. But troubleshooting without direct access to the env is hard :/
