i have worked extensively with Netconf/XML on NX-OS on Nexus 7000.

whatever you're requesting needs to match the schema.  based on my 
experience, i think you'll most likely need to modify what you have to:
    <show><arp /></show>

that is purely a guess - but checking the XML schema definition (XSD) 
that should also be posted on cisco.com will let you verify.
