Isuspect the filter name may be wrong. See this thread for more information on filter names:

Hm, no I think this should be right. Have copied it from
http://framework.openoffice.org/files/documents/25/897/filter_description.html
and in this description it says "Uses Options" for this filter, but I do not know which options?!
I think I have to set a propertyValue to say if I want to have plain text, or maybe a cvs file...
But what are name and value of this option?

You do need to have a correct FilterName from the list.

In addition, if the filter you have chosen requires options, then you need to add another PropertyValue called "FilterOptions".

I've used a CSV import filter before.
http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4103
and it required a string of options that looked like this...
"44,34,SYSTEM,1,1/10/2/10/3/10/4/10/5/10/6/10/7/10/8/10/9/10"

The Developer's Guide describes how to write these options for the CSV filters.
