Communication with two XBee's and Arduinos over serial

I have 2 XBees connected to 2 arduino UNOs. Here is the X-CTU config:

[i]XBee 1[/i]
Pan ID = 4270 
DL = 10 
MY = 20

[i]XBee 2[/i]  
Pan ID = 4270 
DL = 20 
MY = 10

[i]Both[/i]
DD = 10000 
IC = FF 
IR = 32

My project is making a turn signal system for a bicycle. The front of the bike will house one arduino, and the back will hold the other. In the front there are two turn signals, and a switch to turn each one on or off. I want this arduino to send this switch/turn signal data wirelessly (look at the interrupts in the front arduino code). I also want to receive data from a proximity sensor in the rear. The code is posted below.

Front:

#include <avr/io.h>
#include <avr/interrupt.h>

bool leftBlink, rightBlink;  //turn signal variables


void setup(){
    Serial.begin(9600);
    attachInterrupt(0, leftPress, CHANGE);  //setup left turn signal interrupt
    attachInterrupt(1, rightPress, CHANGE);  //setup right turn signal interrupt
    
    noInterrupts();
    TCCR1A = 0;     // set entire TCCR1A register to 0
    TCCR1B = 0;     // same for TCCR1B
 
    // set compare match register to desired timer count:
    OCR1A = 15624;
    // turn on CTC mode:
    TCCR1B |= (1 << WGM12);
    // Set CS10 and CS12 bits for 1024 prescaler:
    TCCR1B |= (1 << CS10);
    TCCR1B |= (1 << CS12);
    // enable timer compare interrupt:
    TIMSK1 |= (1 << OCIE1A);
    
    interrupts();
    
    leftBlink = false;
    rightBlink = false;
    
    pinMode(2,INPUT);  //Left turn signal input
    pinMode(3,INPUT);  //Right turn signal input
    pinMode(4,OUTPUT);  //555 timer for ttl relays, left blinker
    digitalWrite(4,HIGH);  //Keep high so blinker doesn't blink
    pinMode(5,OUTPUT);  //555 timer for ttl realys, right blinker
    digitalWrite(5,HIGH);  //Keep high
    pinMode(6,OUTPUT);  //Prox sensor LED
    digitalWrite(6, LOW);  //proximity sensor should start out off
   
       
}

void loop(){
 
     while(Serial.available())  //is there anything to read?
     {  
	char getData = Serial.read();  //if yes, read it
	if(getData == 'p')  //proximity sensor is giving reading
        {  	 
  	  digitalWrite(6, HIGH);  //turn on LED to show proximity warning
	}
        Serial.print(getData);
     }
}

//left switch was pressed; interrupt routine 0
void leftPress()
{
    //is the right blinker currently on?
    if(rightBlink)
    {
      rightBlink = false;  //yes, so turn it off
      Serial.print('z');  //send reset signal to the rear microcontroller via xbee
      delay(50);  //delay for a bit to allow for serial buffer to clear
    }
    leftBlink = !leftBlink;  //if left blink is on, turn it off, and vice versa
    if(leftBlink)  //is the left blinker currently on?
    {
      Serial.print('l');  //yes, so send the data to the rear microcontroller
    }
    else  //the left blinker is no longer on
    {
      Serial.print('z');  //send reset signal to the rear microcontroller
    }
    delay(1000);  //delar for a second to allow all buffers and serial data to send and be received from the rear
}

//right switch was pressed; interrupt routine 1
void rightPress()  //same as left blink, but opposite
{
    if(leftBlink)
    {
      leftBlink = false;
      Serial.print('z');
      delay(50);
    }
    rightBlink = !rightBlink;
    if(rightBlink)
    {
      Serial.print('r');
    }
    else
    {
      Serial.print('z');
    }
    delay(1000);
}

//Interrupts code every second to pulse a low voltage to the 555 timer, casuing it to turn on the given blinker for 0.5 seconds
ISR(TIMER1_COMPA_vect)
{
    //should the left blinker be on?
    if(leftBlink)
    {
      digitalWrite(4,LOW);  //yes, so pulse a low value to the left blinker 555 timer
      digitalWrite(4,HIGH);
    }
    
    //the left blinker shouldn't be on, so should the right blinker be on?
    else if(rightBlink)
    {
      digitalWrite(5,LOW); //yes, so pulse a low value to the right blinker 555 timer
      digitalWrite(5,HIGH);

I'm not receiving on either XBee, but I can see the serial monitor printing out the right characters. Are there any settings I can change in X-CTU, such as the baud rate or the amount of packets re-sent, to overcome this problem? Or is this merely a code issue?

I do have the power connected to the 3.3V pin of the arduino, and I'm using 470/220 Ohm resistors as voltage dividers for the output pins from the arduino to the XBee, so I don't think voltage is an issue here.

Also, I have tried disconnecting the arduino from the computer. I powered it via the USB-A to USB-B cord -> 13000 mAh 5V DC rechargeable battery, so there should be no interference with the serial data lines. Pin 2 (RX) of the XBee is connected to pin D0 (RX) of the arduino, and pin 3 (TX) of the XBee is connected to pin D1 (TX) of the arduino. Still nothing.

Thanks for your help.
