Sorry for the blunt answer. I obviously didn't read enough of the discussion and I didn't provide a good explanation of my thoughts. 

My thoughts were basically these:
What I have found myself is that the routing table for rteth0 needed external poking (using ping from other source) to be set up properly, and "Network unreachable" seems to me like a failure in lookup. Perhaps when using virtual devices there are some messages sent in the virtual environment that pokes it for you?

You write that you had it working and already tried rtping, so maybe it's already taken care of. But otherwise it would have been a good idea trying rtroute and see if there is a valid mac-address in the table.
