any ideas of what to do

Hello, It sounds like you are missing a config_template.xml in your .zip file:

<zimletConfig name="com_dmrcom_addCustomer" version="1.0">
</zimletConfig>

[SageMajor]

I did not see that anywhere in the samples. What do I put in that file?

My zip only had the com_dmrcom_addCustomer.xml zipped into it. It was all that was mentioned in the hello example

Never mind, apparently the config_template.xml file is not necessary. But, I did find the issue (working version of your zimlet attached):

You needed quotes around method=post -> method="post"

wow, thanks, I spent a day trying to figure it out.
