Two key points about the above module source vs. what you posted:
1) Use policy_module macro/interface rather than just a direct module
decl - this needs to be updated in all refpolicy documentation.  It
brings in additional content including require statements for the kernel
classes and permissions so that you don't have to do that.
2) When you define a new type, you have to assign it appropriate
attributes, and in refpolicy, this is done by using an appropriate
interface like files_type or domain_type.  Interfaces are located
under /usr/share/selinux/devel/include and are documented
under /usr/share/doc/selinux-policy-x.y.z/html as well as on the
refpolicy sourceforge site (http://serefpolicy.sf.net).
