Hi,
My problem has been resolved by doing the following.

1) Install a NAT rule on the Remote module
* Original Source: Remote module
* Original Destination: INTERNAL IP address of the mgmt server
* Original Service: ANY
* Translated Source: original
* Translated Destination: EXTERNAL IP address of the mgmt server
* Transalted servcie: original
 
2) Disable client side NATting for manual NAT rules
Policy - Global properties - NAT - Uncheck 'Translate destination on client side'
