The display="planviewcolor" attribute in the colorbar tag is specifying a 
display control with the ID
of "planviewcolor". The ID of a display control is normally set interactively 
through the property dialog.
You can either set the id with a property tag in the isl:
<property name="id" value="planviewcolor"/>
or just don't specify a display="..." in the colorbar tag. If you don't specify 
a display id then the IDV
will simply default to using the colorbars from all of the displays that have a 
colorbar.
