You can use a collection to read your data. The files out_?.vtr do not 
have to be edited. Just use the following file out.pvd:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<VTKFile type="Collection" version="0.1" byte_order="LittleEndian" 
compressor="vtkZLibDataCompressor">
   <Collection>
     <DataSet part="0" file="out_0.vtr"/>
     <DataSet part="1" file="out_1.vtr"/>
   </Collection>
</VTKFile>

Yet, I agree that there is something fishy. I have tried others setups, 
  getting the same error message. This works and is inspired from the 
chombo3D example distributed with v1.4.1
