Access other subnets through VPN

I have a SOHO 6 in use at a remote office, and a Firebox II at the main office. I have a Manual IPSec VPN tunnel set up between the two, and it is working OK. Traffic is able to flow back and forth through the tunnel to the subnets that are directly attached on each side.

The problem is - the users in the remote office need to access a telnet-based app that is located on a subnet that is attached to the main office subnet via a router.

This setup used to work OK - there used to be another Firebox at the remote office that I replaced with the SOHO 6. When I did, I copied the policy settings for the IPSec tunnel, and entered in these policies on the SOHO 6. I kept the policies in place on the Main office Firebox. Now, users at the remote office are unable to connect, and when they attempt to connect, on my traffic monitor for my main office watchguard - I get the following errors (IP addrs edited out - x.x.x.x = peer IP of SOHO 6):
WARNING - No Matching IPSecPolicy found for x.x.x.x
ACTION - Verify VPN IPSec Policies for x.x.x.x
get_ipsec_pref: Unable to find channel info for remote(x.x.x.x)

So, even though I entered matching policies in on both ends - this is not working still. Is this supported with the SOHO 6, or is my best bet to take my 2nd Firebox and put it back in place at the remote office?
 
You may want to set it for Aggresive Mode (both devices). This is what I needed to do for a SOHO6tc to FB700III manual IPSEC tunnel.

Thanks for the reply. As it turns out, I had to create a tunnel on the Firebox for each IPSec routing policy. I left the SOHO configured as it was. As soon as I made the changes, it started working OK.
