Hi Rex,
SoPHIE keeps a database of installed steptypes that needs to be
refreshed once after the installation and after new steptypes have
been added to the system.
This is described in the installation documentation section 5:
In the SoPHIE webinterface switch to
System > Steptype Management,
click
Refresh
Steptype Packages and choose
Scan for new and updated
Steptypes to
receive new and updated Steptypes.

Best regards and a happy new year to all
