How did you configure the CandRP set? Did you use static Cand-RPs or
did you use the Bootstrap mechanism.
In either case, make sure that the "show pim rps" output is same
for all XORP routers.

Then based on this output calculate by hand the correct address of
the RP for the particular multicast group.

Finally, print both values: the output of the rp_find() and the
ENCODED_UNICAST_ADDRESS. This will tell you which value is wrong.
