[Swan] no connection has been authorized with policy=PSK

Good morning,

I hope this is just me being stupid; I built and deployed a new firewall
for a client over the weekend (using 3.9), and testing it today I am
getting error message:

but no connection has been authorized with policy=PSK

This particular customer is using mac and windows to connect, so having
bad experience trying to get certs working with both platforms before I
wish this to be a psk connection.  I have modelled my conn from a
working openswan box, the logs tell me that everything is loading
correctly.  When I turn on plutodebug=all a connection ends with this:

Sep  3 10:27:19 firewall pluto[10302]: | find_host_connection
me=207.189.234.30:500 him=%any:500 policy=PSK

Sep  3 10:27:19 firewall pluto[10302]: | searching for connection with
policy = PSK
Sep  3 10:27:19 firewall pluto[10302]: | find_host_connection returns
empty
Sep  3 10:27:19 firewall pluto[10302]: packet from 199.247.177.61:500:
initial Main Mode message received on 207.189.234.30:500 but no
connection has been authorized with policy=PSK

I am pretty sure, based on prior experience and doing a bit of checking
on the web this morning, that the authby=secret line is supposed to
authorize the connection with policy=PSK.  Am I in error?

Here is my config; did something change from openswan in the way I am
supposed to set this up?  Or maybe is there a setting I am missing?
