I'm doing something very similar on a customer network recently installed. Double NAT'ing works just fine provided you have the appropriate paths to and from the other end.
In my case I have Clinic-----Umbrella_Org_Router-----PIX-----internet Clinics have a hodgepodge of addresses. I NAT from the Clinic into the Umbrella_Org's network, and if the destination is the internet there is a second NAT to public IP space. First thing I would check is the existence of a path from the PIX back to the source of the original network. In my case I had to configure static routes from the PIX back to the source. -- www.chuckslongroad.info like my web site? take the survey!
