Bob is correct. What you see is normal and you will want to work around it. OSP
F on Frame defaults to non-broadcast mode and expects a full mesh. You dont hav
e a full mesh therefor you do not have direct reachability from spoke to spoke.
 The interfaces will try to elect a DR and BDR. You want the DR to be the hub a
nd no BDR assigned. This means you will have to play with your priorities.

I do not believe that your spokes will become adjacent. The hellos that form a
djacency have a ttl of 1, and get timed out going through the hub. At least th
at is my thought. They could be the next hop, so they will need to be mapped.
