First, check and make sure that RX from one goes to TX of the other.
That catches people up quite often.

Can you get blinking on one or the other?  Are you sure your
PICs are running independently?

Do you see serial data on the output pins, on a scope?  I don't
see any TRISC initializations in that code.  Could the pins not be
set as outputs?

Also, best to write values to LATx rather than PORTx, and read
from PORTx.

When is this due? ;-)
