Ok, maybe it's better to send your problem report to kame-snap

I cannot understand the sentence from "when we intended to be in ..."
You had better show more detail procedures, including each option name
of setsockopt() (or advanced APIs).
Ok, anyway let's show some examples here.
For example, do you mean the following situations?
1. Join INCLUDE{a}, Join INCLUDE{b}, Join INCLUDE{c}
(using MCAST_JOIN_SOURCE_GROUP)
2. Leave INCLUDE{c}
(using MCAST_LEAVE_SOURCE_GROUP)
3. Join EXCLUDE{}
(using MCAST_JOIN_GROUP)
4. Kernel returns error
If above example is the one what you did, then I can understand your
situation. The answer is, if you specify Basic APIs in procedure.3,
then kernel returns error. This is correct behavior, which is defined
in the MSF I-D. The reason is Basic API doesn't support to change
filter mode from IN to EX or vice versa. In order to make it work,
you must use Advanced APIs. Or you must leave each a and b by
MCAST_LEAVE_SOURCE_GROUP

This question is still opened.
