OSPF virtual-link doesn't even attempt to come up, no messages,

I have searched for 2 days on this one, archives, netpro, google
etc...completely STUMPED...its got to be something simple...
It is strange because I'm not getting any messages about the virtual link at
all, no adj messages, no packets, nothing.

R5 and R1 are already OSPF adjacent via PPPoFR in area 125 and R1 is also
connected to the BACKBONE:

area 0---->R1<----pppofr (area125) ---->R5<-----area 765

R5 id: 150.1.5.5
R1 id: 150.1.1.1

Rack1R1#show ip ospf neighbor 150.1.5.5
 Neighbor 150.1.5.5, interface address 128.1.125.5
    In the area 125 via interface Virtual-Access1
    Neighbor priority is 0, State is FULL, 6 state changes
    DR is 0.0.0.0 BDR is 0.0.0.0

Rack1R5#show ip ospf neighbor 150.1.1.1
 Neighbor 150.1.1.1, interface address 128.1.125.1
    In the area 125 via interface Virtual-Access1
    Neighbor priority is 0, State is FULL, 6 state changes
    DR is 0.0.0.0 BDR is 0.0.0.0

Rack1R1#show ip ospf

Area BACKBONE(0.0.0.0)
        Number of interfaces in this area is 2

R5 has a loopback in area 765 and I build a VL to R1 but it never even
attempts to come up.
Below are the relevant configs for R1 and R5:

***** R1 *****

interface Serial0/0
 no ip address
 encapsulation frame-relay
!
interface Serial0/0.1 multipoint
 ip ospf network point-to-multipoint
 frame-relay interface-dlci 105 ppp Virtual-Template1

 network 128.1.125.0 0.0.0.255 area 125
 network 150.1.5.5 0.0.0.0 area 765
!

R5 and R1 aren't even trying to form a VL (these are the two pppofr
neighbors)

R5: Rack1R5#show ip ospf neighbor

Neighbor ID Pri State Dead Time Address Interface

Debug ip ospf packets, adj, events doesn't show anything related to the VL..
Is there some other debugging I can do so I can find out what's going on?

I have done VL over PPPoFR before and it worked fine, totally stumped on
this one...

thanks,
