Unfortunately, the information you provided isn't comprehensive enough to
comment on your case. Please take a look at bat-hosts to have meaningful names
in your originator table. Furthermore, we need a clear description of your
setup for what the routing concerns. You can take a look at our routing
scenarios page to get a feeling what we usually work with:
http://www.open-mesh.org/projects/open-mesh/wiki/Routing_scenarios

A diagram is no must but certainly helpful.

As soon as we have a clearer understanding of how your setup looks like, you
can explain what behavior you see and what you would expect, plus originator
tables from each node involved.

Cheers,
Marek
