Are you 100% positive that the link is really not passing any traffic?
Have you looked at interface stats to verify that there are no incoming
packets? I'd suggest running some EIGRP debug commands during the outage
to verify if you are really not getting any packets..

Re: eigrp and managed ethernet
What is really bizarre is that I am down for minutes not seconds and the
timers never fire. If I don't manually passive the connection eigrp will
for some reason think there is a neighbor even though I am unable to
source ping across the WAN.

Correct. Eigrp neighbor connectivity has a short-cut when L2 connectivity
goes down, otherwise it will use the eigrp neighbor hold-down timer. You
can decrease that timer:
interface fa0/0
ip hello-interval eigrp p x
ip hold-time eigrp p y
where p is your eigrp as-number, and x is how often you want the hello (in
seconds) and y is the max hold-down timer. Generally y is = x * 3

For some reason when I lose layer 3 connectivity between two managed
Ethernet sites EIGRP does not bounce.Is this because the physical
interface does not bounce?
