That's odd.
What FreeBSD version are you using?

It worked for me between FreeBSD-6.2 (amd64) and FreeBSD-4.10.
If it still doesn't work for you, start with my configuration I sent
in the previous email, but double-check that the local IPv6 address
inside your ripng configuration indeed matches the link-local
address on each host.

This is a show-stopper and if they don't peer then the rest won't
work.
