You may update to the current version (0.10.10), as 0.10.3 is rather old.

That message might have changed in different Ethereal versions.
Are you aware, that the plugin ABI may not be compatible between different Ethereal versions?
The ethereal version you use and the Ethereal version with which the plugin was compiled MUST match!
I'm really not a plugin expert, but:
plugin_reg_handoff
seems to be missing (but this is really a guess only).
You might have a look at the example plugins that comes with the Ethereal sources and the doc/README.plugins file.
