MultiBit transaction disappeared

[netopic]

So, I had one Multibit wallet, and I created 2 new wallets to split the bitcoin equally between the 2 new wallets.

Sending everything appeared fine. The originating wallet had 2 transactions with squares on it ( seen by one peer, pending/ unconfirmed ), and each new wallet had the incoming bitcoin also pending unconfirmed.

This morning, it was still in that state, so I reset the blockchain on the originating wallet, and the 2 transactions disappeared from that wallet! 

Also, on the 2 new wallets, if I click show transaction details -> view at blockchain.info, it says "Transaction not found".

Any ideas? How do I get the transactions to show up again in the originating wallet, and how do I get the transactions to confirm on the receiving wallets?

Thanks.
