I've got it figured out now. Thanks for your help.

Two factor wallet != a single master pubkey.
You created a watch-only wallet WITHOUT two factor auth... it only makes sense that the hot wallet will ALSO not have two factor auth.
Restore your hot wallet as a standard wallet (no two factor) and it should generate your addresses (assuming the watch-only wallet is the corresponding master public key)

Ok, so I created a new wallet with two-factor auth. Backed up my private keys, master public keys (all 3), seed, and wallet password.
electrum was open now and sync'd w/ the network.
I then restored a new standard wallet using one of my public keys (#1), and then electrum opened as watching only. got rid of my hot wallet file (w/ a backup made of course first).
I sent $10 worth of BTC to my watching only wallet.
Now, when I restore my hot wallet from seed (w/ two-factor), i still see a 0 balance.
what happened? i only see my balance in the watching only wallet.
Thanks.
