I'm not sure why you're using two tunnels, but I seriously doubt that's 
causing any problems for you.

I've quickly skimmed your commands and don't see anything that stands 
out as obviously wrong.

I think "Network is unreachable" means that the kernel doesn't think it 
has a viable route to the network.

Can you ping the inner IP address on the far side of the IP-IP tunnel?

If you can't ping the IP that you're trying to use as a gateway to get 
to the 2001::/4 network, the kernel would think that it doesn't have a 
functioning route.

Agreed.

Start with basics, can you ping the far inside IP of the tunnel(s).
