I've got Windows clients running through a firewall at 5.2.0.2 and 5.2.2.5, no issues. Polling mode works fine, and the only port you need open for the scheduler to work is 1500.
However, I'm not using managed services (dsmcad), just the regular old scheduler. I'm not sure what the effect is of using dsmcad. It's interesting though, that in your dsmerror.log, the client RECOGNIZED that you were trying to get a connection from the server; that means something got THROUGH the firewall to your client, yes? Being able to back up via the GUI also means you're getting through the firewall. What I would try next is to simplify the interaction by dropping "managed services", and just using the standard scheduler, and see if you get different results.
