This is exactly the same problem I was working on last night. And I had exactly
the same problem that you are having. And still searching for a answer.
Like you
I tried "IP PIM NBMA-Mode" on the hub and it didn't help. I am pretty sure if
point-to-point links are done between the hub and spokes it will work.

  So at this point without using point-to-point subinterfaces I am not sure
what
the answer is.
