I figured out a workaround: although my h5 file has nine component(3 are 
redundant since it is a symmetric tensor) i am reading it as a 6 
component tensor, and paraview is now able to read it!
I wonder why this is the case? I have already detailed the code in 
previous mail; can someone please tell me why it is working like this?

Thanks in anticipation.
