Hello Michael,

your commands work without any problems - IPSec will be stopped an 
started as I already have written.

After some work I found the problem in the vpnmain.cgi. In the shipped 
file of your update, there is the line missing which stores
the information if the service is enabled or not. After I've manually 
added it again, I was able to stop and disable IPSec from the WUI.

I've created a patchfile for you - please check and apply it.

Thanks

Stefan
