Do you still have a -W ppp0 in your forwarding rule that sets up masquerading?
If so, that's the problem (this happened to me). Before the link comes up,
diald sets up a fake default route, and when it sees packets trying to go
through it it brings up the ppp connection. But if you're forcing your
masqueraded packets to go through ppp0, which isn't up yet, diald doesn't see
them and doesn't bring up the connection. Take out the -W ppp0 and see what
happens.
