Thanks for your help. I have it working now. I did a couple of things…
I had some other v002 plugins in the patches folder – I moved them to the plugins folder
I installed v3 of the rutt etra plugin
if that makes sense, I mean it is in the library folder of my hard drive not the library under my user name. All my quartz plugins and patches are in the hard drive library under /Library/Graphics/Quartz Composer Plug-Ins (or patches for some of them)
