I see at least three syntax errors in the profile above (missing ", "creat" 
must be "create" and the closing element of "create" is not supposed to be 
"format").
remove those syntax errors and try to add:
<partition_id config:type="integer">131</partition_id>
<partition_type>primary</partition_type>

you might have luck that it works but I'm not so sure. Try it out.
