Before starting the rtrmgr on router B please set:
XORP_FINDER_SERVER_ADDRESS=1.10.2.10
XORP_FINDER_CLIENT_ADDRESS=1.10.2.10

I am not sure it will fix the problem but give it a try.

Given that you have already set XORP_FINDER_CLIENT_ADDRESS, I think
you don't need the -F 1.10.2.10 command-line option so you may want
to remove it to reduce the confusion.
