This is fine.  I get this, too.  However, when trying to send data, I
get decryption errors (the concentrator reports invalid packets).

I was able to get past the routing loop by readdressing the interface as

Then you're probably not going have any luck getting this to work.  You
might also consider trying out security/vpnc if the concentrator also
allows for IPSec clients using the Cisco VPN client.
