Can you review this dev thread
http://dev.list.galaxyproject.org/Problem-selecting-datasets-with-a-specified-datatype-td4665366.html?

In particular can you go to the "View data types registry" option in
the admin menu and see if Galaxy thinks it knows about this datatype?
Let me know if Galaxy thinks the datatype exists.

If the datatype doesn't exist - can you tell me how you have defined
the custom dataytpe - directly in Galaxy, in a tool shed, etc...? The
more details about the definition of the datatype you can provide the
better.
