'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: 'Unable to parse constraint format: Expected a view

Hi all,

I am trying to add a layout constraint to my container view programmatically by putting the following code in the view controller (which I got and modified from Apple's UIViewController docs):
-------------
 [toolbar setTranslatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints: NO];
     id topGuide = self.topLayoutGuide;
     NSDictionary *viewsDictionary = NSDictionaryOfVariableBindings (toolbar, topGuide);
     [self.view addConstraints:
     [NSLayoutConstraint constraintsWithVisualFormat: @"V: [toolbar]-20-[topGuide]"
     options: 0
     metrics: nil
     views: viewsDictionary]];
     [self.view layoutSubviews]; // You must call this method here or the system raises an exception
-------------
"toolbar" is a UIToolBar at the top of the view.

This doesn't work. I get the following:

'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: 'Unable to parse constraint format:
Expected a view
V: [toolbar]-20-[topGuide]
  ^'

Does anyone have any ideas where I am going wrong? I tried using the view instead of topGuide, but got the same error message.

I am trying to keep the tool bar from underlapping the status bar in iOS 7, while keeping iOS 6 compatibility. (Xcode 5.0.2, Base SDK iOS 7.0)

Thanks, Don
