I just added dp6 to the firewall manually. My guess is that the Mac 
reads the name of the app and determines it's a "new" app but when the 
firewall actually checks for it, it sees dp 6 as an update rather than a 
different app and doesn't update its acceptance list. That's purely a 
guess though. It still doesn't explain why the automatic acceptance of 
signed apps doesn't allow the connection by default.
