octomap_server doesn't create map

edit

I'm trying to let the octomap_server create a map from my Pointcloud2 messages. The pointcloud gets a transform, the header frame_id is correct and the header and the transform use the same timestamp.

But the octomap_server gives no output at all.

RViz visualizes the piontclouds correctly. Here is the code for generating the header and publishing the pointcloud/tf/clock.

self.pointcloud2_pub = rospy.Publisher('/sonar_pointcloud2', smsgs.PointCloud2, latch=True)
self.clock_pub = rospy.Publisher('/clock', rgmsgs.Clock, latch=True)

#Create Header
msg_header = stdmsgs.Header()
msg_header.seq = self.incId
self.incId += 1
msg_header.frame_id = "/sonar_pointcloud2"
msg_header.stamp = rospy.Time.now()

#.... filling the Pointcloud
#.... calculating new position and quaternion

#Transform Broadcaster
br.sendTransform((self.pose.x, self.pose.y, self.pose.z), (quat[0], quat[1], quat[2], quat[3]), msg_header.stamp, "/sonar_pointcloud2", "/map")

#Pointcloud2 Publisher
self.pointcloud2_pub.publish(msg_pointcloud2)

#Clock Publisher
self.clock_pub.publish(msg_header.stamp)

Here is my launch file for the octomap_server (credits to goetz.mark):

<!--
firing up the octomap server to generate 2D/3D occupancy maps
-->

<launch>
  <node pkg="octomap_server" type="octomap_server_node" name="octomap_server">
    <!-- resolution in meters per pixel -->
    <param name="resolution" value="0.1" />
    <!-- name of the fixed frame, needs to be "/map" for SLAM -->
    <param name="frame_id" type="string" value="/map" />
    <!-- max range / depth resolution of the kinect in meter -->

    <param name="pointcloud_min_z" value="100" />
    <!-- topic from where pointcloud2 messages are subscribed -->
    <remap from="cloud_in" to="/sonar_pointcloud2" />
  </node>
</launch>

rqt_console error:

Nothing to publish, octree is empty

The node uses Groovy.

What am I doing wrong?

EDIT: The rqt_console error was due to a naming error in the launch file. I fixed this now, there are new errors now.
