Your lifetime should be equal or lesser for the negotiation of the tunnel to succeed.
I have a IPSEC tunnel between a SRX and a ASA 5505 (very similar to a PIX) and I have the following settings:
Cisco ASA:
IKE/ISAKMP lifetime 86400 (default for Cisco)
IPSEC SA lifetime 28800 (default for Cisco)
SRX:
IKE lifetime 28800
IPSEC SA lifetime 3600
Tunnel works just fine and I see the that Cisco device accepted my lower lifetime values during the negotiation because my lifetime are counting down from 28800 and 3600 respectively on both devices (SRX and ASA).
To know for sure what part of the negotiation is failing you will need to implement the trace options oultine in the PDF I referenced and then review the log file.
