Custom AOV renders black (good in picture & live viewers)

I'm having trouble properly rendering a custom AOV pass. I've added an octane tag to a cube and set it as Custom AOV 2 and set it to capture its reflections.

The Live Viewer shows the reflection in the Cstm2 channel and when I render the Picture Viewer shows the reflection in the Custom AOV 2 single pass. However, when I import the rendered file it is pure black.

Am I missing a key step in connecting the AOV to the rendered output? I have attached a screenshot of tag, picture viewer and the render settings. Below is the scene file. Thanks!

Hi,
everything is working as expected here:
9A047344-960D-41C2-8B50-B31C3BFDBCC8.jpeg
But please make sure to have installed the latest 2021.1.4-R4 version, or 2021.1.4-R3:

And please avoid to use the C4D Save option in Render settings, and use only the c4doctane saving option, when you work in multi pass.

ciao,
Beppe
