G'day Paul and Chris
Something that I would investigate is that you don't have any firewalls
running locally on the box.
As can be seen here http://agcentral.org/help/how-to/bridgeserver, I
have been using a similar configuration except that I bridge each room
individually, ie
[BridgeServer]
name = CQU
location = Rockhampton
qbexec = /usr/bin/QuickBridge
BRIDGESERVER = CQU
#use this port range for the bridge server as a whole
portMin = 20000
portMax = 39999
#
#CQU Lobby
[https://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8000/Venues/00000xxxxxx]
type = Venue
Please feel free to contact me directly if you are still having problems
as I am running the bridgeServer on Fedora Core 4 without any issues.
Cheers,
Jason.

Paul,
No light, but I can confirm that I could only see my own video when I
used your bridge a few minutes ago, despite several other streams
being vislble in multicast mode.

Although I've seen this "BRIDGESERVER = ...." mentioned in some
recent documentation, I've never used it on the APAG venue server/
bridge. Still, I doubt its inclusion would cause your problem.

Is the behaviour any different when you explicitly bridge all/any
rooms individually, rather than the "whole server" mode? e.g.
# Arctic Circle venue at ARSC test venue server
[https://agserver.arsc.edu:8000/Venues/
00000104a5a05af8007f00000000000150b]
type = Venue
What version of the toolkit?
