I think it is the PIX not allowing arp-spoofing -- it is a firewall 
after all :-)

Perhaps the ARP reply packets need to be addressed specifically to the 
PIX's MAC address.  I looked through the documentation, but I don't see 
anything that mentions how to send unsolicited ARP replies to a PIX.  
Any insight would be appreciated.  Whatever it is, I am sure it is a 
simple software fix.
