the auto-beamer will NOT beam over rests. see the first paragraph here:
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.12/Documentation/user/lilypond/Beams#Manual-beams

however, some scheme guru might be able to come up with some funky way  
to create the beaming pattern you're looking for (which is a very  
common pattern in marches and other pieces which have offbeat  
accompaniment in 6/8).
