Well, I've solved it.

I did reinstall smoothie but this made no difference.  What I did do
though is stop dhcpd running on the server and made the bridge
three-way instead of having the smoothie on eth2.

This feels like a collossal kludge and prevents me from filtering
traffic through the server as easily and means the machines here are
protected by one level of firewall instead of two.  Meh.

Still, it works I guess.
