Sorry, this was a different problem.

I don't know - I never get any local IP addresses on my ipsec device, 
whether the netmasks match or not. But as far as I can see, it shouldn't be 
necessary at all.

How does your tunnel config look like?

Aside from this: do we have any details on this bug #66215?
