This issue occurred to me a few years back, when we started enrolling Windows Server 2008. When I tried to change my Citrix XenApp server to another farm, CHFARM.exe crashed and I could not do it. Because I was using GUi rather than command line during that time, so I could capture below detail.
I did not have any issues in changing farm for XenApp in Server 2003, and my home lab (with Windows Server 2008) also gave a positive result. As I only can see this error on Server 2008 (security permission on my home lab was more relaxed - UAC disabled) and but not on Server 2003 (and my home lab), thus to me it was safe to narrow down the root cause to security permission on Server 2008 (to be exact : User Acess Control) that cause the problem.
