pvd files can not point to the older style vtk files, they can only point to the newer xml based vt? (vtu/vtp/vti etc) files.
A script to convert between them build a two element pipeline consisting of a vtkDataSetReader connected to a vtkXMLPolyDataWriter. Set the FileNames on both and call Write() on the writer to make the converted file. David E DeMarle Kitware, Inc.
