MIDI Genius Needed

Hey

The setup has GOT to be simple, but I've tried everything (I think) and
this problem eludes me!

I'm including a diagram, so you can see the visual aspect, but here's the deal:

I have a Behringer FCB 1010 (a foot controller) connected to a Behringer BCF2000. (a MIDI fader/knob device)

The BCF2000 is hooked to the MBPro via USB, and the MIDI out goes to a MOTU Ultralite (1x1 MIDI + soundcard) which is connected to the same MBPro via Firewire.

Here's the catch:

Using a MOTU Fastlane connected to a MacMini, I am trying to get MIDI clock/or ANY MIDI from the FCB1010.

BTW: I am NOT interested in connecting the 2 machines with an Ethernet cable, I am determined to do this OLD SKOOL. (MIDI)
I also have nothing in my setup capable of SPMTE or Word Clock, so those are not options. Also, latency is not a concern.
Any help you can offer, the cheque is in the mail!!

Some things..

The Behringer BCF has a few different modes (4 iirc) you need the correct one (RTFM)

I'm unclear why you have the motu soundcard midi connected - you shouldn't need it.
