Issue importing OpenVDB files generated from the OpenVDB 4.0.1 c++ library April 7, 2017, 7:04 p.m.

Actually, the OpenVDB file format is identical between 3.3.0 and 4.0.1 which means you can safely read and write Point Data Grids in both, it's just the ABI that's different. (However, you wouldn't be able to read Point Data Grids in 3.2.0 or earlier of course as this is a new feature to 3.3.0/4.0.0.)

I'd suggest using the libraries shipped with Houdini to build OpenVDB if you're not already. Blosc is the main one that can cause problems here as SideFX currently uses 1.5.0, but the latest available version from GitHub is 1.11.2.
