It looks like you are configuring multicast routing.  You don't
need to do that just to get OSPF to talk multicast packets to other
OSPF routers, as far as I know.

Are your OSPF routers directly connected by a LAN?

Why are you using 'p2m' for the link type?

 From reading through the xorp manual briefly, it seems that if you are
using p2m type connection, you do need to specify the neighbor.  Probably
OSPF doesn't open a multicast listening socket for this type of
interface.  I don't know if that is correct behaviour or not.

Thanks,
Ben
