In addition to what Nemanja Boric wrote, the recommended array syntax in D is the following:

    INT[1] argv;

You must use the cast keyword, the pointer to first element of an array is .ptr, and I think you meant sbuf:

    io = cast(IOREQ *)sbuf.ptr;

>   st = write(fd, sbuf, 1024);  //

You can use the .length property of arrays:

    st = write(fd, sbuf, sbuf.length);

Thanks you all guys, and the cast (IOREQ *) ... did the trick!!
I'll have a look at your other comments aswell on struct a.s.o.
