[Serusers] Sending NOTIFY messages from presence module to an SIP Proxy Server

The OSER should add Record-Route headers into SUBSCRIBE requests passing
through. This seems to be not done by it (but the dump you have sent
shows truncated messages, thus they may be hidden).

You are right, I think, the record_route should be called on OSER too.
