What BIOS/Firmware are you using? Is it EFI 1.1-based? There's a new copy of efibootmgr 0.4.0-test4 that I posted to linux-ia64 a couple weeks ago that fixes this. Rather than assume a fixed variable exists, it uses the first variable it can to do the writing. Please download and try http://domsch.com/linux/ia64/efibootmgr/efibootmgr-0.4.0-test4.tar.gz.
