if you want connections initiated by the firewall to go over the IPSEC
tunnel you have to add a static route to the remote LAN via the local
LAN IP.

e.g. if remote network is 10.20.30/24 and lan is 10.10.10.1 the static
route looks like this...

INTERFACE       NETWORK         GATEWAY
LAN             10.20.30.0/24   10.10.10.1


however, the OP's problem seems to be a different one, so I think he has
the wrong associations? might need to restart IPSEC on each end to be sure

I have found it very useful to create an openvpn tunnel on remote
firewalls but without routing (so that it's "private" between the two
end-points), so that if the IPSEC tunnel goes wonky you can always ssh
in and port forward to fix things!
