Subject: rotten eggs in the cellar

I have 20 gallons of wonderful custom blended and fresh pressed cider 
fermenting in my cellar.  Two carboys were pitched with an ale yeast and two 
were treated with a single Campden tablet each and allowed to ferment on the 
wild yeast. 

While all four carboys are fermenting actively, they all _reek_ of rotten 
eggs.  My question is this:  is this cider going to be any good?  What can I 
do to solve this problem?
