I'm a ROS beginner working on a custom controller for a UUV using Gazebo to simulate the environment and ROS to control everything. I'm using the uuv_simulator package, which does a lot of the heavy lifting for me. Currently, when certain conditions are met (i.e. the sonar reads a certain depth) I want the sub to stop moving. Fortunately, there's a service for that, /rexrov/hold_vehicle. Here's the results of a rosservice info request on it:

$ rosservice info /rexrov/hold_vehicle

Node:
/rexrov/plane_search_standard_controller

URI:
rosrpc://ncopeSub-VirtualBox:35331

Type: uuv_control_msgs/Hold 

Args:

I've read all the tutorials I can find, and I'm working heavily with the services chapter of Jason O'Kane's book, but even when everything's how I think it should be I keep getting this error when I run catkin_make:

/home/catkin_ws/src/plane_search_standard/plane_detect_anomaly.cpp:4:35:
fatal error: uuv_control_msgs/Hold.h:
No such file or directory 

compilation terminated.

plane_search_standard/CMakeFiles/subscribe_and_publish.dir/build.make:62:

target 'all' failed make: *** [all]
Error 2 Invoking "make -j6 -l6" failed

Which seems to say that catkin_make doesn't know about the service header file for /rexrov/hold_vehicle. But by everything I've read, it should.

Here're my inclusions in the node file doing the service call:

#include <sstream>
#include <cmath>
#include <uuv_control_msgs/Hold.h>
#include "ros/ros.h"
#include "std_msgs/String.h"
#include "sensor_msgs/LaserScan.h"

Here's the line where I create the service client:

ros::ServiceClient stopSubCaller = n.serviceClient<uuv_control_msgs::Hold>("/rexrov/hold_vehicle");

Here're the lines where I actually call the service:

uuv_control_msgs::Hold::Request req;
uuv_control_msgs::Hold::Response resp;
bool success = stopSubCaller.call(req, resp);

And here's my messy CMakeLists.txt file:

 cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8.3)
project(plane_search_standard)

## Find catkin and any catkin packages
find_package(catkin REQUIRED COMPONENTS rospy roscpp std_msgs sensor_msgs uuv_control_msgs)



catkin_package()

catkin_install_python(PROGRAMS scripts/plane_search_standard_controller.py DESTINATION ${CATKIN_PACKAGE_BIN_DESTINATION})

install(DIRECTORY launch
        DESTINATION ${CATKIN_PACKAGE_SHARE_DESTINATION}
PATTERN "*~" EXCLUDE)


include_directories(include ${catkin_INCLUDE_DIRS})



add_executable(subscribe_and_publish plane_detect_anomaly.cpp)
target_link_libraries(subscribe_and_publish ${catkin_LIBRARIES})

add_dependencies(subscribe_and_publish ${catkin_EXPORTED_TARGETS})

Does anyone have an idea as to how I'm going wrong here? I'd really appreciate it - I'm about at my wit's end.

More info:

Running rossrv show uuv_control_msgs/Hold simply returns:

---
bool success

If I put uuv_control_msgs in the find_package command, catkin_make generates four errors like this, just with different endings where the _cpp is:
