Thanks Toni, I actually tried that at one point and get the same error, except that the error happens when the menu tries to initialize. But I'm confident my command is working correctly. Perhaps it has to do with the order in which things get loaded? Maybe my menu plugin is being loaded before Maya loads the command plugin?
