Did you think about referencing your new xml descriptor that contains
the workflow rules in the MANIFEST.MF of your bundle ?

As well, if you did a copy paste of an existing workflow rule did you
think about changing the component name (name="") in the xml descriptor ?

Do not hesitate if you got more questions.

Cheers,
