I was going to go into a bunch of junk, but it might just be better to say
you can use tunnel or transport mode when using a GRE tunnel in conjunction
with IPSec, but it is recommended you use Transport mode. The reason being
there is no reason to have IPSec add an additional IP header when GRE has
done it.
It would probobaly help to take the time to review how a packet looks after
transport mode and after tunnel mode.
One last thing. No matter if you are using tunnel or transport mode you
always have to add the crypto map to the virtual as well as the physical
interface.
