It looks like you've generally got things setup properly.

First, remember you will not be able to ping (or otherwise communicate) from
firewall-firewall across the VPN link with your subnet-subnet connection, so
make sure you're trying to ping from/to boxes other than the LEAF systems.

Second, when I've seen or heard of these sorts of problems before (ie the
VPN tunnel is up, but no traffic goes through), it almost always means a
problem with either the tunnel configuration (ie you didn't build the tunnel
you acutally need), or with the IPSec packets getting dropped.  If you're
running AH instead of ESP, your packets are probably stopping at the
firewall (AH is protocol 51, ESP is protocol 50).  Regardless, you should
look at your firewall rules on both sides of the link (net ipfilter list),
looking for suspect packet/byte counts for any deny or reject rules.

Finally, since this is one of those "it looks like everything should work"
problems, if you want real help, you're probably going to have to provide a
lot of raw data for us to sift through.  At least the contents of ipsec.conf
& network.conf, and the output of "net ipfilter list", "ip addr list", "ip
route list", and "ipsec look".  Or to make it easy, just do an "ipsec
barf"...I think that works OK on LEAF.
