Re: BSR question.......

I think your problem is the sparse-mode configuration, your RP and BSR haven't learned about each other because of the sparse-mode, sparse dense mode would resolve that, because the dense mode would allow the the 224.0.1.39 and 224.0.1.40 traffic to flood to and from the BSR.

Multicasting is probably my weakest area at the moment, so I hope this helps point you in the right direction.
