MPLS VPN Issue - Can't Ping (MPLS Encapsulation Failed)

Hi,

I copied the MPLS VPN configuration (with slight modifications) from the following document but can't ping any remote addresses in the VRF.

The routing tables/path on all of the PE routers are correct and there are no ACL's that would be restricting ICMP traffic.

I've also set the MTU/MPLS MTU and it still fails encapsulation.

Can anyone think of a reason why MPLS encapsulation is failing? I can a provide a copy of the configuration on each router is required.
