I am using ros_vrpn_client for my optitrack with motive setup, and it works perfectly fine. Just make sure they are on the same network with firewall disabled and motive trackers activated. Of course you have to setup your launch file to match your Motive PC IP, port and tracker name.
Check to see if your node, ros_vrpn_client, is running with the command "rosnode list". Then check to see if the topic it publishes the data to is active with the command "rostopic list", if you find your topic, named after your trackable id, then use "rostopic echo your_topic_name" to see the data.
To use the data you have to make a node yourself and subscribe to the topic that ros_vrpn_client publishes to. See ROS Tutorial for help.
