The problem is (I think) that your UCI configuration is wrong.

UCI does not support names flexible enough for OONF, it does not allow
multiple config sections of different types with the same name. In
your example you have two sections (domain and lan_import) that have
the same name (0). This doesn't work in UCI.

So you have to use an extra key/value pair to define the name of the section:
(see also http://www.olsr.org/mediawiki/index.php/UCI_Configuration_Plugin )

Try this (could not test it here, no OpenWRT hardware):
