Hi,

What version of TinyOS that you use ?

I've done the same thing in T2.0.1, and it worked fine.

Here's how I test it :
1) Put node 0 and node 2 out of range
2) Put node 1 in the middle (in range for node 0 and node 2)
3) Test multihop by turn on/off node 1

The problem with your test method is that it takes time for node 2
to find the root node (to join the network). If you move it rapidly,
node 2 won't be able to join the network.

Hope that helps.

Regards,

-daniel
