Erm, that should work. What does ls /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon*/device show ?

If there are temp#_max_hyst files there try:
echo -n 56000 > /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon#/device/temp#_max_hyst

Note that the hysteresis is shared between max and crit, so only the 
temp#_max_hyst attributes are writable the temp#_crit_hyst attributes are readonly.

If the echo works and your sensors.conf still gives errors after removing the 
set statements for temp#_crit_hyst, we probably have a bug in libsensors or 
sensors somewhere.

127 looks like not connected to me, I would expect the output of "sensors" to 
give a FAULT as reading for that sensors, what does:
cat /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon#/device/temp3_fault
Give as output?
