Any chance your vpn client is also attempting to use AH in addition to ESP?
It appears you've opened up ESP but not AH. In any case, I would probably
first check the logs on your router/firewall to see what, if anything, is
being blocked.

You could also install a sniffer such as network monitor or ethereal or
sygate firewall or windump [if the client is windows] to see if any traffic
that you aren't expecting is trying to go out.
