While I am not sure about why the symeigensystem command isn't working, the problem might have something to do with the "A" matrix being rank deficient. In any case, I find that the commands:
eigensystem(A,X=.,L=.)
and
lefteigensystem(A,Y=.,M=.)
both generate values for eigenvalues and eigenvectors for the aforementioned A matrix (collected in X and L, and Y and M, respectively).
