Encrypted IPinIP Tunnels

I am having problems with a CET encrypted ip-in-ip tunnel.

The caveat on this tunnel is that it passes through a Pix firewall at which
one of the end-points has a static nat entry. The conduit statement in the
Pix permits all ip-in-ip traffic for the internal ent-point as well as icmp,
telnet, and tcp 1964 (key exchange).

 rtr1 --- pix --- rtr2
           ^
          nat

If I disable the crypto map on the tunnel, the tunnel will operate. However,
if I enable the encryption the packets never make it through the firewall (a
debug shows them going out of the routers, but they never arrive at the
other end).

Does the firewall need to modify the payload to perform the NAT operation?
>From my interpretation of the IPinIP RFC (2003), it wouldn't seem that it
would need to.

I am not particularly familiar with the the PIX configuration. Is there a
restriction on encrypted data through the PIX?
