A manual task is a an automated step, that does literally nothing.

It is used by process modelers to model that something is done outside of the BPM engine, and therefore it acts as a 'passthrough' activity.

I deployed the process from the thread starter and got the following error (with usertask instead of manualtask; activiti5.beta1):

Any ideas?

Could you paste the process so I can try it out?

It's the one from above:
