Mike,
The bearings are lubricated with the rear axle oil.  No grease. Oil 
flows between the axle shaft and the axle housing to around to the 
bearing.  Yes, the paper gasket has to be oil tight.  The oil seal keeps 
the oil from lubricating the brake shoes.

      Can someone explain how the hub oil seals are meant to work. They
      are inbord of the hub bearings. Are the hubs meant to be packed
      with grease? ( the service manual suggests they should, but the
      same manual doesn't tell you to pack the hub with grease when
      changing hub bearings and seals). Is the back axle oil intended to
      pass across the oil seal to the hub bearing? If so, then the paper
      gasket in the hub flange to half-shaft joint will need to be oil
      tight.
