Maybe the problem is differen't versions of TransX cos when I loaded your scenario I also didn't get your TransX plan. The version I'm using is TrasX-3.13.1.3.
That's right. I downloaded the version you are using and i can see your TransX plan now. I can see that those 21 degrees of Rinc is probably the lowest you can get with that plan.
The scenario is at MJD 51944 (February 4th 2001) and you have set up MJD 52491 (August 5th 2002) to be your eject date. Why wait that long? Venus is in a pretty good position to make the transfer right "now".
If you set up the following plan on TransX you will make it to Venus somewhere near the end of July 2001.
1. On the second stage (eject plan):
1a.Reset the eject date and then add about half a day (51945)
1b.Set the Prograde Vel. to -3.299k
3c.Set the Ch Plane Vel. to -1.541k
2.On the first stage (escape plan):
2b. Set your Ej. Orientation to 57.06 degrees.
That should get you a Rel. Inc of 7.22 degrees and the dV required for the TVI is 3711 m/s, a 2454 seconds burn according to [nomedia="http://www.orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=4530"]Burn Time Calculator 2.0[/nomedia]
Here is the scenario with the plan already set:

Don't forget to get the Rel. Inc down to less than 0.1 by burning Orbit+ or Orbit- when your ship is near an ascending or descending node. (where the gray line intersects with your current orbit, shown on the first stage of the plan).
After you've made the TVI, TransX will automatically delete the first stage of the plan, once you are far away from Earth and show you the stage 2. At first you'll notice a large Cl App Distance, but as you timewarp you will see that distance being reduced. (if you executed your ejection correctly).
Start setting up a Mid Course Correction (MCC) when that distance reaches a minimum and then starts to go up again. After that i usually do another correction at about half the distance of my first MCC and the target. (In this case Venus).
Now, a different "approach".
If you MUST leave on the date you have initially set up, here is a little trick i learned from flytandem.
I use this when my orbit has a very high Relative Inclanation to the TransX's ejection plan and/or (in this case) when my ship has poor acceleration.
1.First use the scenario editor to set the date 6 days before your eject date (52485). Reset all your settings on TransX and setup the plan again. The new settings you will use, should be close to the ones you had, but they will not be EXACTLY the same. (That's because of the change in the date).
2.Once you are happy with the plan, undock and make a prograde burn untill your ApA is about 249.0M. That's close to the edge of Earth's SOI. (G=0.51 on Orbit MFD).
3.When you are close to your ApA make another Prograde burn to circularize your orbit.
4.Make the Orbit+ or Orbit- burn at the right time to get the Rinc down to zero. (It will take much less burn time now)
5.When your ship is almost opposite to the Pe shown in the escape plan of TransX (Ang to Pe 179.5) burn retrograde to get your PeA as close to the atmosphere as you can. (I usually go for an ApA of 230k)
6.Set your Pe Distance on TransX to match your current PeD on Orbit MFD.
This is a way to make big plane alignments and use less fuel.
(You can read about the advantages and disadvantages of different types of orbits
here)
Even with that retrograde burn to get your Periapsis back near the atmosphere, it should take less fuel than making the alignment burns at your starting orbital altitude.
That's about it for now.
Have fun, happy orbiting
