Joey, I see nothing terribly wrong with the ipsec.conf file. Mine does have a leftid and rightid in the conn home-office section. I also have a auto=add on the office and a auto=start on the home section. Without these lines it does not when to start up. I'm sure you are reading the configuration section from freeswan.org. You might also try the logs to see what is going on.
# ipsec look - will give you the connections that are up and allowed. If the two are tunnel and secure if gives more information than can be believed. # more /var/log/log.auth will tell you all about how the ipsec is connecting. It will also give you some real clues on connections. This will get REAL chatty if you change the plutodebug to all. I believe uniqueids means that if "B" machine tries to connect while "A" still thinks its connected, "A" will kill the current session with "B" and start a new session with "B". If you have a firewall other options might be needed like leftfirewall=yes. I'm about to finish a mini-howto for Dachstein CD using X.509 certificates. Let me know if you are interested.
