That would be because you're passing buffer and fmt instead of a pointer to
buffer and fmt.  You need to do

        char *     buffer_p = buffer;
        const char *fmt_p = fmt;

        void * values[5] = {
                [0] = &buffer_p,
                [1] = &bufsz,
                [2] = &fmt_p,
                [3] = &sblock,
                [4] = &band };

One of the many peculiarities of the libffi api...
