networkmanager-vpnc plugin not connecting

This is with a fresh install.
When I import the profile file(.PCF) that I used successfully with 8.10 networkmanager-vpnc plugin, I get an error message, only the first failed connection attempt no errors after that just will not connect, No Vaild vpn secrets found.
It is as if the plugin is not reading the secrets I entered in the dialog box. I close the profile manager and reopen and the same secrets are still there.

I re-entered the secrets manually, I know the information is correct because i use same info that worked with 8.10 and XP, and chose to save the information. Try to connect and get same error message. I can create a connection profile .conf file and use vpnc from the cli and it connects without a problem.
 Appears to an issue with the NetworkManager-vpnc plugin and not vpnc.

FYI
 no firewall active or installed
 at the moment using the wired connection--no wireless connection is active

There is a workaround, but it would be nice to fix this in some future version of Ubuntu
