[Paraview] Problem loading CSV data files

[Berk Geveci]

The next version (3.6) of ParaView will include better support for csv
files. The csv files will be imported as a table and we will have
filters that allow you to convert the table to other formats. For now,
you are better off sticking to another format such as the VTK format.
