First, this IS absolutely possible. I have done it successfully.

Second, you said it yourself: "R2 is a point-to-point interface, and you
cannot use a F/R map statement on this." That is why you must use p-to-m
int on all participating routers that are both the hub and the spokes! You
MUST have the map statements on the hub and the spokes for this to work.

I wiped out my configs that had this to move on to other things. If I get
time this weekend I will set it up again and send the configs.

Just out of curiosity... when you do debugs of the packets (check both
sides) see if you get any encapsulation failure messages for the CLNS
packets. Encapsulation failure messages mean that the router can't resolve
the information neccessary to send the packet. This information is usually
contained in the map statement.
