[Serusers] Call accounting with NAT problem

The problem that I am facing is about accounting
missed calls. When I try to turn the
missed calls module On by putting in the following
chunk of code the missed
calls are reported, but the Nating module somehow gets
disabled and the RTP
tries to go through directly. The scenario can be
realized as 

Phone 1 <----------(SER)------------>Phone 2
Private IP	 Global IP	   Private IP

Now as we can see the ser is on global IP and the
phones are local. 
When there is no missed calls chunk of code in SER.cfg
then SER works fine 
and phone1 first sends RTP to global IP SER and it
forwards it to the 
other phone 2 . But when I insert the code then SER
tries to make them 
direct and this is not possible as both phones are
behind different 
NATs. My ser.cfg file is given below ...I have
seaparated that piece of 
code by marking aswell as u can see below ..  Can
someone please tell me 
what's wrong ??? 

I am using SER development version downloaded from
CVS.
