I have had similar problems with 2D structured grids and XDMF in the past.
I never got them to work in ParaView.

I solved the problem by using 3D grids and set the first dimension (i.e. the 
slowest varying) one to 1, the same way as you have done it with VXVYVZ.
You just have to adjust your data arrays accordingly, i.e. dimensions 1 82 221 
in your example.

I can send you a working xdmf file when back in the office.

I believe the computational overhead from 2D to 3D grids with effectively 2 
dimensions is rather small.

Maybe the next-generation XDMF reader in ParaView works better for 2D structued 
grids  or somebody with the knowledge explains us how to write them correctly.
