Sorry, I feel shame that I can't see anything wrong about it. maybe you can
add the following line:
 rtpproxy_sock="unix:/foo/bar=4 udp:1.2.3.4:3456=3 udp:5.6.7.8:5432=1"

I think the seruser mail list may have the same questions. You can 
consult them.
BTW I use the iptel.org's SER to test my SIP UA, Not my own SER with 
nathelper.

  Best Regards.
