[Paraview] Saving data plotted using PlotOverLine

[Stephen Molloy]

Thanks Utkarsh.

I'm a little confused now.  My script is pretty much identical to yours 
(with the exception of the Exodus related stuff), yet it refuses to 
write the correct values in the CSV file.  :S

I think I'll get in touch with the SLAC team to figure out what is going on.

Thanks for taking time to help me.

Steve
