OK. So, this sounds like it can communicate with the kernel and part of the
audit system is compiled in.

OK. Maybe its not 64 bit.

> Error sending add rule data request (Invalid argument)
If it were 32 bit, then the above would have selected -F arch=b32
automatically. The error message means the kernel rejected a field in the audit
rule. Which field, I don't know.

I believe this is just saying that the rule in line 5 was rejected by the
kernel. This is systemd induced. The Error sending rule message went to
stderr, auditctl also logs to syslog that it had a problem. Systemd grabs both
and logs them. So, this is really 2 messages for the same thing. Its not a
parsing problem per se.
