You can do it also with CBQ.  But you have to be carefull by choosing the 
parameters.

The commands seems ok to me.  I tried to bound the outgoing traffic on a 
10mbit card and I had some good results 
(http://www.docum.org/stef.coene/qos/tests/cbq/bounded/bounded.html).  But I 
also found that the isolated parameter is not working and can distrub the 
setup.  So, can you try again with only the bounded and no isolated parameter 
?
