Please test incrementally (start with basics, then head towards more complex configurations) to minimize and isolate the problem:

Basics:
1a. does IPv4 connectivity work?
2a. does IPv6 local connectivity work?
3a. does Teredo connectivity work?

Medium (no RVS)
1b. does direct HIP-over-IPv4 connectivity work?
2b. does direct HIP-over-IPv6 connectivity work?
3b. does direct HIP-over-Teredo connectivity work?

Advanced (with RVS)
1c. does HIP-RVS work with IPv4?
2c. does HIP-RVS work with IPv6?
3c. does HIP-RVS work on top of Teredo?

There is a dependency between the test cases with the same number. For instance, 1c does not work if 1b does not work, and 1b cannot work if 1a does not work (also, Teredo fails to work when plain IPv4 does not work).
