I get the following error whenever I try to run pfmon:

can't create perfmon context: Invalid argument

I'm using the current cvs version of libpfm and pfmon, although the  
error occurs with  libpfm-3.4 and pfmon-3.3

I've include some (hopefully) useful system data below.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks.
