1) is packet forwarding enabled?

root at st-6-kth ~ # sysctl net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding=1
net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding = 1

2) are there any firewall rules blocking the traffic?

root at st-6-kth ~ # ip6tables -L FORWARD
Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination

if there is something in the firwall flush it for testing: ip6tables -F
