I tested oclhashcat last night and it can use one card (whichever one
X is running on) and was able to show increased speed (about 10x
faster than the CPU's) so I am sure it was actually using the GPU.

I tried X and got segmentation faults with john so I figured I needed
to run this in console mode.
I can remove one card and see if that changes things. If I can get the
card to work I will get a second one and see if the CrossFire will
allow for increased usage.
