[j-nsp] Hidden routes

Hi,

I have a VRF between two M10 Juniper routers.

Juniper1====VRF====Juniper2

The Juniper2 router advertises a prefix (192.168.155.80/28) via BGP to
Juniper1.

This advertised route has the loopback (10.10.10.1) of Juniper2 as next-hop
in the BGP table of Juniper1.

Juniper1 has a route, learned via OSPF, to 10.10.10.1.

So, what am I missing and that route remains hidden in the Juniper1 router?

Also, what would be the meaning of "Next hop type: Unusable."?

Any comments would be greatly appreciated ;)
