I can't help with rules analysis, but one thought did come to mind quickly.

One of my favorite and most effective methods is to sniff and change.  I'll 
bet you have a production system and you can't change the rules table all 
that much.  If you can take over for a while, then you can open the rules 
until you get the desired functionality as reported by your sniffer.  Then 
start adding back rules until you find the rule that disallows the function 
you desire.
