how do you add a custom PP attribute through mel. I thought you could do it through the addAttr command but it doesn't seem to be working. Anyone know?

yeah you are right you use the addAttr command, this worked fine for me:

addAttr -longName testAttribute -dataType doubleArray particleShape1;

think you just need make sure the dataType is set to doubleArray for it to be a PerParticle attribute!
