I can concur on the requirement for a pass-through square. Hm, you're right, perhaps I've stuck too close to the original. Although Black can also take the Rook out, White will ultimately be an Elephant up (b2-e2 d5-a5 e2xe6 a5xa1 e6xc6+ b6-a5). Would it solve the problem if I swapped the Cannons' starting files over so that they started on d2 and b5? That would at least make d2-e2 less of a threat on account of d6 (or c6)-e4 and the loss tha would result from e2xe5 e6xe5.
