Pro-Mini+XBEE Serial RX Issue

Perhaps one important thing to note is this. When performing Serial.println("") from the YUN while running the below sketch on the pro mini I do get values appearing in the pro mini serial terminal.
So, I believe the data is being received. Of course this code is not correct for what I want to achieve, but though I'd pass this fact along.
Thank you

void loop() {
  // put your main code here, to run repeatedly:
    if (Serial.available() > 0)
      Serial.println(Serial.read());
}

Result in terminal. For example.
