Most likely your kernel is missing IP policy routing
(IP_MULTIPLE_TABLES).

If I remember correctly, IP policy routing can't be provided by a
module, but is an optional functionality of the kernel itself.

So if you can't replace the kernel with one having that option, you
might consider the let charon install routes to the main table instead
of the dedicated routing table. This can be achieved by setting
charon.routing_table = 0 in strongswan.conf, see [1].
