hi,
I guess you know NSS is /CS .?? [NOT CS]
Where is the RESET connected.?
Are the DIO pins allowed to 'float' the datasheet should tell you.
As you say the PCB requires a 3.3v supply.
I usually add a 10k pull up on MISO

EDIT:
How are you planning to get the 18F2431 PIC to communicate via RS232 to the other PIC.????
