Start tcpdump on each client e.g. tcpdump -i eth0 -n -s0 -X icmp6 and
restart rtadvd and see if anything actually arrives at the clients.
Then, to make things clean and in order to use the machine as router you
should disable ACCEPT_RTADV (ifconfig eth0 inet6 -accept_rtadv) and also
disable the sysctl: sysctl net.inet6.ip6.accept_rtadv=0.
But, I mostly suspect your clients are not getting any RA's...
