OK. (I didn't know there was a function named "open".)

The problem is that the ~utrace0 PPA does not include a matching ddeb
file, which means that the kernel debuginfo that systemtap has found
does not match the kernel that you're actually running. Either the
PPA would need to ship .ddeb's, or you might have to hand-rebuild the
kernel from the PPA sources, and save the .ddeb that should be
produced.
Another possibility is to only use probes that do not require kernel
debuginfo. One possibility for your script is
kprobe.function("open"), which should work, but cannot supply any
$context variables for parameters. That's OK because your script
doesn't require any. Also, kernel.trace("...") should work fine (and
including $context variables).
