[Paraview] Using real timesteps in pvd files

[John Biddiscombe]

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<VTKFile type="Collection" version="0.1" byte_order="LittleEndian">
  <Collection>
  <DataSet timestep="1.08267" file="1800_001-static-00000.vtmb"/>
  <DataSet timestep="1.08367" file="1800_001-static-00001.vtmb"/>
  <DataSet timestep="1.08467" file="1800_001-static-00002.vtmb"/>
...
  <DataSet timestep="1.34967" file="1800_001-static-00267.vtmb"/>
  </Collection>
</VTKFile>

This works for me. Can't comment on why you are having trouble, but 
maybe try to remove the group, part unused tags.

I use CVS paraview (3.4 should work)
