This debug indicated that the multicast path does not coincide with the
unicast path
The BSR is sending multicast adverts of RP-set over the path defined by
PIM. The router receiving this multicast, on checking its unicast routing
table , finds that the unicast path to the BSR loopback address is
different, hence the RPF failure.
Solutions:
1. You can tune IGP to ensure the two paths are the same.
or
2. You can use the "ip mroute" command on the router receiving these
multicasts, defining the next hop to the BSR via the multicast path
For example, in the diagram below, the R1 loopback (150.4.1.1) is the BSR
address, and pim SM is enabled on the lower path interfaces passing thro R5
(the scenic route). Your IGP however will most likely pick the the upper
path to get from R4 to R1 (150.4.1.1).

(BSR)R1----------------------------R4

In this case, you will get the RPF failure unless one of the above solutions
are used.
