Is the first octet of the WinXP addresses really 160 or is this a
typo?
The first octet must be 169, because the hosts must belong to the
same subnet as the router.
If this is a typo, and the first octet is indeed 169, then first
check whether IGMP sees the receiver(s).
Start the receiver on one of the WinXP machines, and use the
following xorpsh command:

show igmp group

If you can see the receiver, then start the sender on the other
WinXP machine and check whether PIM-SM sees both the sender and the
receiver:

show pim join

Please send the output of the above two commands, and based on that
result we can debug the problem further.

Pavlin

P.S. What XORP configuration did you use for the unicast test?
If WinXP has the traceroute equivalent, please use it to
double-check that the unicast routing indeed goes via XORP.

P.P.S. Your multicast configuration below seems fine.
