I guess your problem is that SPD entries are not regenerated/refreshed
when rekeying, so they expire at the end of the first SA's life.

I fixed that problem a couple of months ago, patch has been reported
to ipsec-tools version of racoon, but it seems it hasn't been included
in KAME's version (you should find it on racoon-ml's archives).
