By any chance did you edit the file in windows?
There is a problem with line 8, and the ^M usually signifies that there is a
carriage return added to the end of line (something windows needs, but linux
has no use for)

Edit the ipsec.conf on the Ipcop using the joe editor, it shows all of the
carriage returns that windows adds (vi does not), remove them and then true
running the vpn again.
