Site-to-Site VPN Issues

I am testing a new XGS 136 (SFOS 20.0.0 GA-Build222) offsite to replace an onsite XG 135 (SFOS 19.0.2 MR-2-Build472). The backup of the XG 135 was used to setup the XGS 136.

We have never used the IPsec Site-to-Site connection before but may have a use for it further down the line. Therefore, before I put the new unit into production I thought I would take the opportunity to test the Site-to-Site feature. However, I cannot initiate the connection. Here are the settings that I have (note that the local and remote ID are the same email address on both ends).

Head Office Settings on XG 135

Branch Office Settings

I can successfully activate both ends of the connection.

However, when I try to connect on either end, I get the following error.

I checked /log/strongswan.log on the branch end and got the following "KE payload missing in message" and UNSUPPORTED_CRITICAL_PAYLOAD errors:

Can anyone spot any obvious issues?
