The sysctl is almost certainly failing because of a interface version
mismatch. Could you be building the tools and Xen against different versions
of the public sysctl.h header file?

Try instrumenting xen/common/sysctl.c in the hypervisor and see if you are
indeed failing on the obvious version check at the top of the do_sysctl()
function.
