I also installed this on Mac OS X (10.7.2) and it is works great.
That said I'm not an expert on this application.  However a quick
google query turned up this:

I would check to see if your ike daemon is running.  Easy way from the
command line:

[bash: ~]$ ps -ef |grep ike
    0    58     1   0  7:11PM ??         0:00.02 /usr/sbin/iked -F

or look for the process in the Activity Monitor.
