Hi
 Just thinking out loud... are these two getting trapped in a sort of 
"deadlock" - syncmaster1 multicasts, syncbackup2 picks it up, 
syncmaster2 sends it back via multicast, syncbackup1 picks it up, and 
so on, and so forth.
 I notice that you're not setting the --syncid flag in your command 
lines. Wouldn't that mean they're both using the same ID, and therefore 
continually "swapping" data as described above?
 --syncid syncid
     Specify the syncid that the sync master  daemon  fills  in  the
     SyncID  header  while  sending  multicast messages, or the sync
     backup daemon uses to filter out multicast messages not matched
     with the SyncID value. The valid values of syncid are 0 through
     to 255. The default is 0, which means no filtering at all.
I'd try a unique syncid for syncmaster1/syncbackup2, and a separate one 
for syncmaster2/syncbackup1.
