NetworkManager VPN Doesn't Work: vpnc F14 x86_64

Before I file the BZ on this, wanted to see if anyone else had the same
problems.

Basically, my vpnc based VPN profile on F14 x86_64 doesn't work. I took
my exported profile from my working F13 x86_64 system and imported it
onto F14. I then manually verified that everything in terms of settings
was the same - identical in fact - between the two.

The F13 system connects as always with no issues at all. The F14 system
prompts for my password and then produces a generic "The VPN Connection
Failed" message from Network Manager.

Anyone else seeing issues connecting to a Cisco VPN gateway? Want to
make sure this isn't pilot error before I file the BZ...

Cheers,

Chris
