I would suggest isolate the problem to see if it is the underlying xyssl or the interface. Just put some simple printf in the c wrapper after the encryption.
Another option is to check if the block mode works. I remeber I have implemented the cfb mode in pure lua using the more primitive block mode.
Unfortunately, I don't have a 64 bit machine to work with and cannot offer much help.

I guess to solve this problem
