OT: BGP failing to establish a peer. Any ideas?

Hey Guys,
 
I am running into an issue with bringing up a partner who is using
a "blade networks" switch and I am using a Cisco 4900M. Debugs show that the
session is moving from idle to active and then to Open and finally to
OpenConfirm before closing. So I don't think this is a layer 3 check ttl
(update source, TTL, etc...) though I could be wrong. From looking at the
debug below, can anyone tell what is happening? I've looked at RFC 1105 but
it says nothing about the "cease 0" message I am getting in the debug.
 
I
tried setting the timers to defaul (60 keepalive - 180 hold down) and removing
soft-reconfiguration inbound but no luck. And I did clear the bgp neighbor
with the "clear ip bgp 10.255.0.10" command after each change
 
Below is the
config and debug. Any help is MUCH appreciated!
 
router bgp 1
  neighbor
10.255.0.10 remote-as 2
  neighbor 10.255.0.10 timers 3 9
  neighbor
10.255.0.10 soft-reconfiguration inbound
