The hash is ntlm.  I don't have a LM version of the password as I disabled LM hashes.  I do have physical access to the system as it is my personal pc.  What I did was create a user called test and set its password to TeSjtEsJTE.  I ran pwdump7 to get the hashes.  I am generating a table of time to crack a series of passowords.  I need to see how it would take to crack my password using a custom character.  I have the time it takes to crack using an alphanumeric charset.  
 
I created a new john.pot using your contents and then tried to generate a new char file using:
john-386.exe --make-charset=cust.chr john.pot
and I get Loaded 0 plaintexts, exiting...
 
What did I do wrong?

I have looked at using external, but I haven't found any examples of filters.
 
Thanks,
