Iirc there was a similar problem on a German mac-list and the solution
was that Apple just called the stuff different for WDS. There is a
master, a relay and a remote. The master is the router with internet
access, a relay is a bridge I think and the remote is a box that can
only talk to the master via a relay. There was this "picture" (one
time capsule and two airport express):
TimeCapsule <---> Express 1 <---> Express 2
Master           <--->    Relay     <--->  Remote

I hope that helps and if not - just ignore it ;)
