It means that the RTT typekit that corresponds to seegrip/CommentMessage 
did not get loaded in the deployment.

Are you starting a logger "alone", i.e. without a task that provides the 
corresponding type ? If that is the case, then the typekit might not get 
added by orogen (and you unfortunately have no way to force its loading 
right now ... sorry).

Workaround: add the logger task to a deployment in which a task 
generates /seegrip/CommentMessage

And, as always please ask these questions on rock-dev
