They are 10 gig cards, they are only in a VIF with themselves (no other cards). It's a 3070 with 2 copper 100/1000 2 FC gig and 2 FC 10g connections. The 2 1000 are on our production network as lan0 VIF for CIFS/NFS, the fibre gig is not used and the two 10g FC are VIF tgif on the storage only network (no routing etc, private for storage devices and the hosts using them only).
They are plugged into stacked 3750e boxes, I tried putting them on the same switch just to make sure it was not a stacking thing with no real change.
The oddness is that occasionally a single packet will get through, and if I bring the interfaces up and down it may change who can get to what.

Are these 10g TOE cards? Are they in a VIF with other 'non-TOE' cards?

I am having a great deal of difficulty getting my filer's 10g interfaces connected to a pair of 3750E switches I am trying to use for my storage network's backbone. I can inconsistently ping other objects on the network (there really is nothing there yet, we are just getting started, but I do have a host and an RLM card just for troubleshooting purposes), but they cannot ping each other. >From a remote host (172.1.2.5) I can ping everything but array1. If I bring down either of the two stacked switches (which brings down one port of each VIF member pairs) everything works.
