Hi Wes, after reading your emails all together, I fear you may have 
changed the hard-coded IP in omuscd. To do so will definitely break it,
and multicast will fail. It is the IP range itself that has special 
meaning to the kernel network layer. The way to route it legally is to 
create a default route, OR tell omuscd which network device to use (it 
will then tell the kernel). The omuscd daemon is virtually plug'n'pray 
you need change nothing in the source.
