[Paraview] ParaView III - plugins under OSX

[Randy Hudson]

I had it that way, but changed it to avoid this error:
Failed to load  ":/ParaViewResources/UGFlashReader_Client.xml"
Failed to load  ":/ParaViewResources/UGFlashReader_Client.xml"
Failed to load  ":/ParaViewResources/UGFlashReader_Client.xml"
Failed to load  ":/ParaViewResources/UGFlashReader_Client.xml"

I don't get that error when it's set to "/Users/hudson/Software/ParaView/ParaView.3.1.0/UGFlashReader_ClientPlugin".

BTW, PV_PLUGIN_PATH is set to 
"/Users/hudson/Software/ParaView/ParaView.3.1.0/UGFlashReader_ClientPlugin:/Users/hudson/Software/ParaView/ParaView.3.1.0/UGFlashReader_ServerPlugin", 
and it's exported.
