I had the same trouble a while ago, (I think) the trouble arises from the Xdmf 
assuming that a tensor is 9 components and therefore rejects a 6 way tensor and 
treats it like a scalar. I thought this was fixed at some time, I may be wrong. 
Either way, look at the Xdmf reader code, scan through for references to 
tensors and tweak it to say 6 instead of 9 (or whatever), you can make it work 
for a quick fix.
