Matt, post your code so I can take a look at it.  I've done bi-directional 
work with the Arduino and there's no trick to it.

BTW, I recently read about a really slick bit of software:

http://generichid.sourceforge.net/

It runs on Linux or Windows and will use a Teensy++ 2.0 board -

something like Leo Bodnar's board.
