Are you trying to set up a road warrior config or a subnet-subnet config? (road warrior is where one peripatetic user authenticates then has access to the lan behind the ipcop box, a la roving laptop user who needs access to the office network. subnet-subnet is where you want to join two networks, both behind ipcop firewalls, so that you can smoothly browse and access both networks - eg joining two branch offices - or your home network and your office network)
There are good road warrior howtos on the ipcop site. I have had a subnet-subnet operation working on 1.3, but I haven't managed to get it back up and running lately on various 1.4 beta-rc-final variants. You need different subnets at each end or it won't route properly. eg 192.168.1.x at one end and 192.168.2.x at the other. you also need to sort out smb browsing if you are using windows/samba. I would try a shared key first, i found the certificate stuff just too hard. I know shared key is not necessarily the best, but I haven't ever managed to get anthing else working.
