I just verified that it works as expected -- it converts the 6 component symmetric tensor to a 9 component tensor. Also you may want to add the DataType="Float" or similar attribute to your DataItem.
Are you using ParaView 3.6.* or earlier? If that's the case, give the 3.8 release candidates a try.
