[GNC] Custom reports don't survive upgrade to v3

[Geert Janssens]

Macho,

Can you attach the "not terribly instructive" stack trace here ?
Also when you run the other custom reports resulting in the generic report 
error, can you check the contents of the trace file [1] ?
Typically that file will have more information.

Regards,

Geert
