As it's done above, you're setting EXTERNAL_NET to HOME_NET.  That
basically turns most rules into "if from this host to this host."

Now if that's what is really intended:

      var HOME_NET $lo0_ADDRESS
      var EXTERNAL_NET any

Does the "any" for EXTERNAL_NET include HOME_NET, or does it really
mean "any other"?
