Need help for OSPF NSSA problem

Got a question about OSPF NSSA routes. I got a test lab topology like
below:

TEST------------------------------MAYS7513---------------------------------------MAYS7507-----------------------MART7204
|----------area 10.10.10.10-------| |--------------area
1.1.1.1-----------------------| |---------area 0.0.0.0---------------|

Actually, between MAYS7513 and MAYS7507 routers, I put a "dumb" router to
simulate a firewall. There's no routing protocol running on the "dumb"
router so we can take it out of the picture. BTW, I am running a tunnel
between MAYS7513 and MAYS7507 in order to pass OSPF through the simulated
firewall. In area 10.10.10.10, I make it as NSSA. On TEST router, I
implemented a route-map to pass a couple of loopback IP addresses out. On
MAYS 7513 router, I saw those NSSA route as following: Theoretically,
MAYS7507 router should see those two routes in its route table as External
Type 5, am I correct? But I didn't see any. Where could be the problem?
What should I check? Can someone help me with it? I appreciate it.

PS: On every router, I saw OSPF neighbor(s). Virtual link is up up.
