I'm not familiar with the tcpdump that comes with Nokia ( I assume
it comes with their IP Security tools ). Can you provide a small
trace file, perhaps 10 packets (there should be a "-c" option)?

Just make sure you didn't capture any sensitive data in that
trace file. Run "strings" on it to see if it has any non-public
data before sending it.
