Your radvd config seems fine.
In your case, handovers depends on your physical topology  
configuration: if the MN still hears from the AP in the Home Network,  
it does not have any reason to handoff in the foreign network. For  
the MN to handoff without external operations, you have to move it  
outside the range of its current AP and inside the range of its next  
AP (the AP you want the MN to handoff to).

But in any case, using "iwconfig" to force handovers are a good way  
to script handovers in a test environment (this avoids to move  
physically the MN, or to switch on/off the AP to force the Handover  
to another one).

Cheers,
