Yep. Having manged switches can cause problems along with green ethernet switches. 

If these are managed switches, Try disabling ALL IGMP protocols on these switches. I would apply settings then power cycle the RBR and RBS and see if the RBS will connect via ethernet.

I use non managed switches and my RBS are ethernet connected. I do have one managed switch however it's IGMP protocols are disabled, it works. D-Link DGS-1100. My other switches are D-Link DGS105/108s and HP ProCurve 1400/1800 series.
