What do you mean by "If the patch cables are reversed"? As I understand 
it you have 2 switches at either end of "the divide", one at the dark 
side and one at the light side. Are you linking one port on the light 
to one on the dar or are you linking two ports on each to the other?

If it's the latter it may be something like spanning tree kicking in. 
If so try just one port to one port.
