MPLS tagging issue

Hello all,

I am having trouble with a loopback not being tagged by a P router. R3 Lo0
can ping R5 Lo0, however the CE on vrf RED attached to R3 cannot ping the CE
on vrf RED attached to R5 even though the networks are making it to both PE
BGP tables. I think I have narrowed the issue to a P router (R4) that has
no CE attached. It does not appear to be tagging the R3 Lo0. This seems to
permit BGP to propogate, but break the actual traffic between the VRFs. I
am including "sh ip bgp vpnv4 vrf RED" on both R3 and R5 as well as "sh mpls
forwarding-table" on R2 and R4. Note the line in the R4 output that reads
"18 Untagged 3.3.3.3/3 ..." This is what leads me to believe the
problem lies on either R2 or R4. Any guidance is appreciated.
Thank you,
Brian
