Ah, thanks for the clarification.

Here are the results of running those commands from 192.168.20.1.

show pim neighbors:

rtrs                  1 192.168.20.2    2 Sparse      105      86
rtrs                  1 192.168.20.3    2 Sparse      105      93

(rtrs is the interface; those are the correct IPs for the two other XORP 
boxes)

show pim rps:

Those look fine to me.

FWIW, I'm running Ben Greear's xorp.ct repo (a bit old by now, as it's 
been moved to GitHub) version 7e89cbe2b0e97d2f76f78b9da7fe590543a91764, 
from May 9th.
