Hi, Congratulation that you solve it out.

Since OPSF network type was non-broadcast network, the hello interval is 30 second and the dead interval is 120. These interval times match the point-to-multipoint and this meet the need to form neighboring relationship. However, these will not help to run OSPF correctly. The behavior of non-broadcast is different that point-to-multipoint. Example, From the result of "show ip ospf int" The network was nonbroadcast and there is BDR. In point-to-multipoint there is no DR/BDR.
