The routing problem was resolved... Surprise!

I guess it might be a helpful listing in the FAQ, should be so obvious, 
but it was not. Unless NAT is setup & running (via pfctl/pf.conf) 
internal (nonroutable) IPs from the LAN cannot effectively reach the 
Internet (WAN). The internal addresses need a route back from the 
outside which is just what NAT provides.

So running NAT resolved the non-routing problem I had been experiencing. 
Works like a charm now.

Thansk for everyone's comments and suggestions.
