Did you fake the ARP response to the guest? If not the guest won't get 
past ARP:ing for the host and no IP packet will be sent..

To make life simpler you should probably start testing UDP in each 
direction (netcat is your friend) with static ARP entries registered on 
both guest and host.

For host->guest packets the RAW sockets demonstrated earlier is fine if 
you accept that the guest packets is also duplicated on the local lan. I 
do not know of a method to have host->guest packets sent cleanly without 
duplication on the Ethernet without setting up a TUN/TAP or PPP interface.
