   Also on your map class:

map-class frame-relay 256k-frts
             service-policy output QoS-Policy
             frame-relay mincir 256000
             frame-relay cir 512000
             frame-relay bc 1000000
             frame-relay be 30000

   You have your CIR set to 512 but you have potential for the whole T1.
  With your CIR value set to 512000 you will never achieve your potential!!
