Ok, this is an obvious error on my part. The problem was because I was trying to load a GUI plugin after loading the servermanager plugin, which is pointless in batch mode. I guess it is getting too close to Christmas!

The remote argument (default to True) is to specify whether the plugin will be loaded on client (remote=False) or on server (remote=True). If you loaded the simple module with from paraview.simple import *, make sure to pass globals() as an argument: LoadPlugin("myplugin", False, globals()), to load on client; LoadPlugin("myplugin", True, globals()), to load on server; LoadPlugin("myplugin", ns=globals()), to load on server. Otherwise, the new functions will not appear in the global namespace. So, I really should be able to pass it a single argument if I want to, but whether I give it 1, 2 or 3 arguments it will still give me the same TypeError. However, it works fine in the interactive Python shell. Is this a bug or have I forgotten to do something?
