Do the machines on the A network have a route to the B network? You've
got a machine 10.0.1.1 which can route between 10.0.1/24 and 10.0.6/24
but do the other machines on the 10.0.1/24 network know that they can
get to 10.0.6/24 via 10.1.1.1?

Try:
route add -net 10.0.6.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 10.0.1.1

on the 10.0.1.x clients.
