Make sure your router interfaces aren't configured with "no icmp
unreachables"  make sure any implied rules dealing with ICMP aren't
blocking icmp "packet too big" messages.  IPSO isn't path mtu
compliant, but this isn't really the problem.  Almost every time this
question is asked, it ends up being solved because ICMP error messages
are blocked somewhere.
