I had responded apparently about the same time you did, but mine was
suggesting to use the ipsec.o module (filename incomplete).  Wouldn't that
allow the pass through, i thought that was the intent of the module.  or is
it specifically for ipsec type pass through ONLY.  in that case, how does a
VPN differ from IPSec?  i thought creating the vpn was the result of
configuring IPSec?

I don't think IKE is supported for masquerading.  The problem is that it
encodes the network information for the client inside the protocol, and
that protocol is proprietary so it is not possible to make masquerading
module to support forwarding that traffic.  The Cisco is seeing your
private addresses inside the encrypted packets and giving up on you.

Get your admins to enable IPSec or make your connection from outside your
network.
