Please try the mcast-tools port to confirm that multicast forwarding works.
There are tools in that port which will allow you to run basic UDP 
stream tests
as well as installing static entries in the forwarding cache.

The most likely culprit is a network interface which does not support 
ALLMULTI.

Also, DVMRP has been dead for years, avoid mrouted -- try a PIM 
implementation e.g. XORP or pimsd.
