Any ideas why i cannot bring up this tunnel ?

You haven't enabled MPLS-TE on the interfaces, and you haven't configured a TE router-id in the OSPF process. It might be the case that you don't absolutely have to explicitly configure a router-id, but you definitely have to enable the interfaces. It should look something like this:

!
mpls traffic-eng
!
interface g1
!
interface g2
!

The fact that you've tried to verify things with LDP show commands and have enabled LDP everywhere concerns me since that's not relevant for TE except in very specific circumstances. You should also remove 'bidirectional' from the tunnel-te interface as it's not a feature that's covered in any of the basic/intermediate texts that I've read, and I have no idea how it interacts with what you are trying to do.

MPLS-TE has like a million show commands, but some that are relevant here are:

show mpls traffic-eng tunnels summary // to check that the TE and RSVP processes are running.
show mpls traffic-eng link-management summary // to see that the interfaces have TE enabled (XR doesn't show that in show mpls interface like in IOS, I think)
show mpls traffic-eng tunnels // to see the status of the tunnels
show rsvp interface // to see that RSVP is enabled on interfaces that are to run TE (texts say that you have to manually enable RSVP on interfaces in XR even if you enable TE on the interface, but this doesn't seem to be the case in XRv at least).

Consider reading the Cisco Press title "Traffic Engineering with MPLS" if you're interested in TE because it's actually very well written and easy to understand.
