Ok well thanks to Andrew @ Supernews and a lot of debugging it appears 
there is a bug....

sys/netinet/ip_icmp.c: line 440
                        if (!mtu)
                                mtu = ip_next_mtu(mtu, 1);

Problem is ip_next_mtu will always return 0 when called with (0, 1) ... 
so following that with:

                        if (mtu >= max(296, (tcp_minmss +
                                        sizeof(struct tcpiphdr))))
                                tcp_hc_updatemtu(&inc, mtu);

and nothing gets changed.... hence why it fails.

Apparently the gateway should be suggesting a MTU value for use.... the 
gateway is also FreeBSD 5.3 so something needs fixing .. :-/
