Hmmm.. very odd. Does it error out when trying to load the CA certificate?
You should see a message like:

Jun 21 06:35:16 precept Pluto[425]: Changing to directory '/etc/ipsec.d/cacerts'
Jun 21 06:35:16 precept Pluto[425]:   loaded cacert file 'RootCA.der' (1286 bytes)
Jun 21 06:35:16 precept Pluto[425]: Changing to directory '/etc/ipsec.d/crls'
Jun 21 06:35:16 precept Pluto[425]:   loaded crl file 'crl.pem' (743 bytes)

on starting frees/wan.
