Check the gateway on the internal machine you're trying to forward to.

Internal box a will only talk through 1 firewall at a time, or correct me if
I'm wrong.

Firewall1             ,        firewall 2
   .
  /|\
   |

Box A  
Gateway is 
firewall 1

Incoming packet to internal box A through firewall 2 will not work because
box A tries to respond through firewall 1, not firewall 2.

Or did I completely misunderstand the question?
