I suspect that the CVP is reading the ! as an indicator of a shell script to follow or some other script and so it or the firewall is rejecting the address. One thing to try would be to use \ before the !, which should alert the CVP that the ! belongs there. If that works, at least you'll know what the problem is, though i'm not sure what you'd need to do to actually fix it long term.
