Changing Type fails on Custom Types

[michaelmtz]

Hello,

Version : 4.0.e  (cent-os & mac)

Followed Jeff Potts brillant article to build custom content model.   The Custom Types are displaying where they should.
The problem is when I change  a documents custom type,  I can only change it a couple times,  then I get the following message:

Unable to change type of document 'name-of-doc.pdf'

Here is the mdModel.xml config:

Here is the share-custom-config.xml code, I suspect this is the config that is incorrect.

Hello,

can you provide some output from the alfresco.log / catalina.out? Usually, the reason for the failure can be found there. Your configuration files appear to be in order as far as I can tell.

When I reproduce the error.  No log files get updated.  
( I tailed the file (catalinia.out),  nothing updates,  I also listed all the files in the log directory, sorted by time.   Nothing was updated.) 

Relevant to this:  Is there a way to display the document type for each document on the Document List
or Document Details.   (Just point me in the right direction. )
Perhaps I should make ask that question in a new post.  (Did not find an answer while searching the forums)

Thanks
