The layout is only recognized if the corresponding latex class file can be
found. Is the class file installed? Did you do a "texconfig rehash"
afterwards? This command must be run as root if you installed the class
file in the system texmf tree and as normal user if you installed it under
~/texmf.
Another show stopper might be the DeclareTextclass command in the layout
file. It must be either
\DeclareLaTeXClass[stdclass]{myvariant}
(if you use class "stdclass"), or
\DeclareLaTeXClass{myclass}
and the file must be named myclass.layout (if you use the class "myclass").
