One thing that threw me for a while was that the python documentation was very
unclear about how the MDGModifier.createNode() function wanted the string-type
arg to be formatted. Specifically, did it want the api version of the node
type, or the standard version of the node type?
The answer was suggested in your answer as being the 'standard' node type name.
Each node will return a different node type name with:
* maya.cmds.nodeType('node', api=True/False)
The MDGModifier class wants the names formatted in the "False" node type name
style.
