For some reason, the ubuntu version of h5utils provided with apt-get install h5utils does not have internally consistent paths/libraries for the colormaps.
A temporary solution is the following: To convert the file foo.h5 into foo.png with colormap foomap h5topng -c /usr/share/h5utils/colormaps/foomap foo.h5 This is ugly, but it works, and you can go about your work. You could make an alias or script to wrap this up nicely, but I'll check my own computer for config files to see if there's a more elegant solution.
