I changed the setup to sparse mode and added "ip pim nbma" on the HUB
and still it does not work (the outgoing list on the HUB for
(150.1.134.4, 239.1.1.1) is still NULL...

Michael;
Multicast has a rule that says "the outgoing and incoming interface for
an mroute statement can't be the same". When you issue the ip pim
nbma-mode command, you are bending that rule by kind-of telling the
router to use IPs, instead of interfaces....
For Dense mode, you can do what sabrina says: Use a GRE Tunnel between
the spokes. Don't forget the ip mroute statement.

Hi group,

I ran into a problem configuring pim dense mode in the frame-relay hub
and spoke environment. I configured "ip pim dense" on hub and spoke and
"ip igmp join 239.1.1.1" on one spoke. But when i do ping test, it
fails. Since "ip pim nbma-mode" is not meant for dense mode, is there
something I missed? Thanks
