wpa_supplicant and hostapd configuration for 802.11r

I am working on fast roaming in IEEE 802.11 Wireless Networks. As the basic object of 802.11r amendment 2 (15 July 2008) is to minimize the amount of time that data connectivity is lost between the STA and the distribution systems (DS), when a STA moves from on BSS in one extended service set (ESS) to another BSS within the same ESS. 
I used the hostapd 0.6.4 and wpa_supplicant 0.6.4. My hostpad.conf and wpa_supplicant are given below. I am using FT-PSK, my hostapd and wpa_supplicant runs without error. But  wpa_supplicant does not connect with the hostapd and I can’t see any exchanges on the hostapd screen (console) and the wpa_supplication is just displays the CTRL-EVENT-SCAN-RESULTS. 
 
Is anybody working on 802.11r, would you guide me? What thing I am missing that’s way wpa_supplicant and hostapd doesn’t connect with each other. It will be nice if you can share your configuration files
 
Best Wishes,
