I would figure out what function in it's attach routine is failing with EINVAL 
and drill down from there.  It looks like it is dying trying to 
evaluate "TSIF", "VSIF", or "FSIF".  Maybe add some printfs to see which one 
and print out the 'elem->Type' in the "NOREF" error message.  You could also 
just print the 'name' there as well which would help perhaps.
