Loading VDB no working

[ben.fox@framestore.com]

I am trying to get a vdb to load, but not having much luck.
I found this tutorial, but it is throwing an error when I evaluate:
http://www.3dtutorials.org/video/820/re ... -realflow/

I downloaded the exact same file that was used in the tutorial and here is the error I get...with this file and any file I have tried.
WARNING: TypeError: Invalid type for metadata file_bbox_min

Any suggestions about what I could be doing wrong?
My thought is that I can use this for a collision object for regular particles...true?
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
I am running 2013.7.1.3.0152
Thanks

Hi Ben,

We are checking why this might be happening. It seems to be working just fine in Windows, but we have just seen this on the Linux build.
Once we find the source of the problem we will get back to you.

On the collision question, it is possible with graphs, but you will basically have to do all the wiring there. Not a straight forward solution, I am afraid.

Hi Ben,

Sorry to keep you waiting.
We have corrected the issue with those VDB files.

If you download the updated package on the gateway it all should work fine now.

Thanks for your patience.
