not seeing statics being advertised to bgp neighbors

Hi,

I have the following setup and am not seeing what I expect. I had this 
working before, so I am sure it is something I have changed in the 
configurations when automating them. I just can't see what it is.

Situation is that that have a bunch of host aliases (/32) defined on the 
lo interface. For each of these, I create a static in bird so there is a 
route. Then I filter and forward those via BGP to the edge routers that 
talk to ISPs. A single machine is presenting a number of addresses in 
different routing blocks and addresses.

I have attached the bird config for this machine.

here is the list of loopback aliases
[root at pnpborder1 bird]# ip addr show lo
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN qlen 1
     link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
     inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo
        valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
     inet 198.49.100.18/32 brd 198.49.100.18 scope global lo
        valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
     inet 8.25.217.45/32 brd 8.25.217.45 scope global lo
        valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
     inet 8.6.161.18/32 brd 8.6.161.18 scope global lo
        valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
     inet 8.5.161.45/32 brd 8.5.161.45 scope global lo
        valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
     inet 198.49.100.45/32 brd 198.49.100.45 scope global lo
        valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
     inet 8.25.217.18/32 brd 8.25.217.18 scope global lo
        valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
     inet 4.7.20.4/32 brd 4.7.20.4 scope global lo
        valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
     inet 4.7.20.5/32 brd 4.7.20.5 scope global lo
        valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
     inet 173.1.2.36/32 brd 173.1.2.36 scope global lo
        valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
     inet 173.1.2.37/32 brd 173.1.2.37 scope global lo
        valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
     inet6 dead:beef::1/32 scope global
        valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
     inet6 ::1/128 scope host
        valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

the routing table doesn't show the routes and the neighbors don't get 
them (did a tcpdump to make sure it wasn't filtering on the far side.)

can anyone spot what I did wrong?

thanks,
