I am actually back, so I can field this one.

Did you apply the patches I posted to the list a couple weeks ago?  I noticed
that you are calling the xc_sched_arinc653_schedule_set function without a pool
id, so I think the answer is no.

http://lists.xenproject.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2013-11/msg02549.html

Without these patches, you can only load a schedule into Pool-0.

If you just want to wait a little bit, I should be addressing Andrew's comments
soon, in order to get them into unstable.
