Tim, It doesn't know what the class is. Multiple things could have gone wrong: 1. is there call to ADD_VISIT_READER() for the new reader? 2. does the case match between the XML's class="" and the name specified in 1?
If it makes it easier, create a MR on the https://gitlab.kitware.com/paraview/visitbridge repo with your changes, and I can do the necessary fixes.
