Can't telnet into PIX across subnets

I am trying to access a PIX 506e across subnets and I am unable to directly telnet into it at 192.168.9.1.  If I VNC into a workstation at 192.168.9.100 on the other subnet I can then telnet into the PIX.  There is a site to site VPN between the two PIX devices.  I can ping everything on the other subnet from a server on the main 192.168.0.x subnet.

Main office:
PIX 515e 192.168.0.1 /24

Branch office:
PIX 506e 192.168.9.1 /24

I added the following to the PIX 515e:
access-list nonat permit ip 192.168.0.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.9.0 255.255.255.0

I also have an access list set up for the VPN as follows:
access-list 109 permit ip 192.168.0.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.9.0 255.255.255.0

I'm not sure what is stopping the ability to telnet directly into 192.168.9.1 from a server at 192.168.0.68?

I added the following to the PIX 506e but it didn't seem to work:
telnet 192.168.0.0 255.255.255.0 inside

Thanks for your help!

It is purely in the design of the PIX. It was designed to restrict all access to the inside interface from outside.
As calvinetter mentioned, there is one workaround to use the "management-access inside" command. This will make the inside interface available to external users, but only with VPN tunnel.
Personally, I never use Telnet to a PIX. I much prefer using the secure PDM GUI, or SSH to the public IP and just restrict access to http/ssh to the public ip of the other side pix.

The PIX 515e is running 6.3(4)
The PIX 506e is running 6.3(4)

I added  management-access inside on both PIX's.  

From the PIX 506 at the remote office I can telnet into 192.168.0.1.  From the PIX 515 at the main office I cannot telnet into 192.168.9.1.

This is the PIX 506 config:

>From the PIX 515 at the main office I cannot telnet into 192.168.9.1.
    That's because you're only "allowing" telnet from the 192.168.9.x subnet with the below config line:
>telnet 192.168.9.0 255.255.255.0 inside

  Add this to your PIX 506 config:
telnet 192.168.0.0 255.255.255.0 inside
