This is actually a GNU Radio bug where XML files are not generated
correctly. At the vlen parameter of the hier blocks a $ is missing. This
patch from Sebastian Koslowski should fix it:
https://github.com/skoslowski/gnuradio/commit/227478f343f50431d238a16d93afd8a40ef9e06e


Just apply the patch and create the hier blocks once again. Then it all
should work. Tell me, if it does not!
