[Paraview] Custom Filter Not Seen in 3.2.1 Filter Menu

[Kent Eschenberg]

Thanks, Clint. Unfortunately there still seems to be something wrong. I've 
attached the most relevant files. No errors or warnings during make but the 
following is printed when ParaView starts and the new filter is not available:

======
Failed to parse  ":/ParaViewResources/cloudGUI.xml"
Failed to parse  ":/ParaViewResources/cloudGUI.xml"
Failed to load  ":/ParaViewResources/cloudGUI.xml"
Failed to load  ":/ParaViewResources/cloudGUI.xml"
======

The actual path to that xml file is /home/eschenbe/PV/Kits/Cloud/cloudGUI.xml .

Suggestions?
