This sounds like a problem that was discussed here (or on the groupstudy ccielab list) in the last few days. The problem then was EIGRP over ATM. Now it's OSPF over ATM. Try specifying your OSPF neighbors manually, so unicasting occurs.
There may be a better solution, but try this until someone chimes in with something better.
