very weird. John, your config's look correct...desirable and desirable is
definitely a compatible combination to use for PAGP etc. As someone just
mentioned, however, order can and does matter when configuring these
interfaces. You should create the port channel interface on your devices
first and then make the channel group assignments on the physical
interfaces.

Also, speed and duplex must match. I don't see any specified in your
config's, so as long as the physical capabilities are the same on both
devices and they negotiate properly you should be good. Try doing a show
interface status on both devices and ensure that both of your links (link
pairs) are at the same speed and duplex. You might want to try specifying
speed and duplex if nothing else works.

As someone just mentioned also, you could try shutting and no shutting the
interfaces or even reloading your devices too.
