SAMBA not syncing with SAMBA

Guys, Im having trouble getting two Samba boxes to sync with each other.

One Samba machine in on subnet 192.168.5.0/24. This samba box is the
domain master browser for the workgroup. As well as the local master
broswer for its subnet, 192.168.5.0/24. Also this samba is acting as the
wins server.

The other samba box is on subnet  192.168.0.0/24. This machine is the
local master broswer for its subnet, 192.168.0.0.

ALL HOSTS ARE USING THE WINS SERVER LOCATED ON THE SUBNET 192.168.5.0

* The problem is the samba machine on 192.168.5.0 will sync with with
  192.168.0.0 but will import 0 records into the browse list.

* But the Samba box on 192.168.0.0 will sync with 192.168.5.0's samba
  server and imports the corrent number of new hosts


More network info: The two subnets are routed via two
VPN(IPSEC) gateways. All protcols over IP works great. NetBIOS works
except for the browse list syncing.

Here are snips of log.nmbd from both servers.
