All the resistors are the same,
assuming the op-amps are both reversed (as per Taku's suggestion),
Will the bottom op-amp not drive to match the + and - inputs?
3.3v through 3 resistors = 1.1v each so the bottom out will be -1.1v
The upper op-amp will be +2.2v
This gives the same current through each of the 4 'current path' resistors

Or am I missing something?
