Those rules look ok.

and xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is your firewall as well? ;)

I'm not sure what that you're saying.  The client is reporting that
the server is saying that inbound connections are not allowed?  Or
the client itself is reporting that it won't accept inbound
connections?  I don't see how either case applies if you get no
packets whatsoever back from the vpn server.

Some things off the top of my head:

1) Disconnect your firewall and connect your client directly to the
   Internet.  It's good to have verification that it works normally.

2) Check the state table to make sure nat proxying is working as
   expected.

3) Try a binat rule instead of nat proxying, something like:
   binat on $ext_if from $client_ip to $vpn -> $extip
   I'm not sure if this fundamentally different from nat proxying.
   (pf dudes?)

4) Get a hold of the vpn server admin if feasible and ask what the
   vpn server is reporting.
