cdp not coming up

Greetings. Something seemingly so simple is not working. A router and a Nexus are not seeing each other via CDP. I have a 2921 router connected to a Nexus 7000. Everything works fine, except for some mysterious reason CDP does not establish. Yes, it is enabled on both devices and not disabled on the relevant interfaces. The Nexus says this over and over again when debugging cdp errors:

2013 Feb 21 11:22:35.859986 cdp: cdpd_sdb_update_intf_entry: Entry Not Found. Adding intf-sdb entry for if-index 0x1a314000, device_index 1

2013 Feb 21 11:22:35.860012 cdp: sdb_write returns 1092222993

2013 Feb 21 11:22:35.860027 cdp: Unable to add intf-sdb entry for if-index 0x1a314000, device_index 1

Obviously this is not a show-stopper, since these two devices don't have to see each other via CDP to work fine, but it's definitely a head-scratcher. Here are the relevant interface configs:

Nexus

interface Ethernet102/1/1

  spanning-tree port type edge

  no shutdown

Router

interface GigabitEthernet0/1

ip address 10.10.10.251 255.255.255.0

duplex auto

speed auto

As you can see from the interface, it is plugged into a Nexus 2000 FEX--do those not work with CDP, or do they work in a different way?

I searched the web for the debug messages but turned up nothing. Any thoughts?

Thanks

No sooner do I save this post and I see this:

"CDP is not supported on fabric interfaces when the Fabric Extender is configured in a virtual port channel (vPC) topology."

That's the trouble!
