'change' only sets NLM_F_REPLACE. Since NLM_F_CREATE is not set ('ip ro
replace') it does not add a new route and expects one to exist. Your
table above shows the prefix with metric 256 not metric 10 so the route
does not match. You should be seeing a message in dmesg to this effect.

Adds a new entry because of NLM_F_CREATE.
