Sorry to say this, but top-posting is bad form.

I know nothing of MediaTomb myself, but I was under some impression the
multicast MROUTING kernel option is supposed to be used in conjunction with
mrouted?

This whole VPN thing just seems like such a wrong approach to me. YMMV

man route add maybe?
something along the lines of route add -net <network> <ip of interface>
if this approach is proper (I'm a 'dummy' and haven't had to do this in
sometime so memory gets fuzzy) you may need to do it on both subnets to get
each connected to the other. Exact syntax will depend on your networks. The
reservation I have here that I'm way too fuzzy about is how ARP fits, but
iirc it comes into play somehow. There are smarter people around who may be
able to confirm a canonical approach to joining two subnets via the routing
table. But, remember - I'm a dummy so I just toss it out as an idea. Just a
potential idea to consider. I'm probably wrong.
