JP,

The source of the Multicast traffic from your Routing Table's perspective
should be reached out the same interface that the Multicast traffic was
received on. In addition make sure that the route to the "RP" also is seen
by the Routing table as reachable out the same interface which makes it an
incoming interface in the mroute table. If not try adding the mroute for
the RP and the Source pointing out the correct interface.

Posting configs will help as well

HTH,

Troy
