Cisco VLAN trunk ASA5510 to Catalyst 3550.

I am working on a project where an ASA5510 needs to be configured with multiple VLANs on a single physical interface. This has been configured using the sub interfaces with no issue. The port is then being connected to a Catalyst 3550. The switchport on the 3550 has been set to trunk mode using dot1q encapsulation. For some reason I cannot get any traffic to pass between the devices over any VLAN.

Any help is appreciated.

ASA5510 config:
 
!
interface Ethernet0/1
 description Physical DMZ Interface.
 no nameif
 no security-level
 no ip address
!
interface Ethernet0/1.1
 description External Wireless DMZ
 vlan 8
 nameif dmz-wireless
 security-level 10
 ip address 172.17.8.1 255.255.255.0
!
interface Ethernet0/1.2
 description Remote Access DMZ
 vlan 9
 nameif dmz-ra
 security-level 75
 ip address 172.17.9.1 255.255.255.0
!
interface Ethernet0/1.3
 description External Server DMZ
 vlan 10
 nameif dmz-server
 security-level 50
 ip address 172.17.10.1 255.255.255.0
!
 
 
Catalyst 3550 Config:
 
!
interface GigabitEthernet0/3
 description Connection to ma-fw-01 for DMZ VLANs
 switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
 switchport trunk native vlan 10
 switchport mode trunk
 no ip address
 snmp trap link-status

My thoughts,

I wouldnt use sub interfaces on the ASA, I'd do something like the following

on the ASA setup all your Vlans as interfaces, and then set your for E0/1 as a trunk..for example...

Interface Vlan 10
description **********
nameif dmz-server
security-level 50
ip address 172.17.10.1 255.255.255.0

Interface Ethernet0/1
switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
switchport trunk allowed vlan 8,9,10
switchport mode trunk

I would also change the 3550

interface GigabitEthernet0/3
description Connection to ma-fw-01 for DMZ VLANs
switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
switchport trunk native vlan 10
switchport trunk allowed vlan 8,9,10
switchport mode trunk
no ip address
snmp trap link-status
