0.0.0.0 is synonymous with default, I should have mentioned the 
possibility that it wouldn't like using default itself. It seems it 
depends on how it was originally set up. route and ip don't necessarily 
see eye to eye all the time even though they're working from the same 
data set.

Both of these are interfacing directly with the kernel, error messages 
are definitely a bit cryptic.

Congrats on getting it working.
