So the org.openoffice.sheet.addin.CalcAddinSock service you specified 
implements a new UNO interface that you added (and which has a method 
startThr), right?  Did you bundle in your extension a types.rdb that 
contains the information about that new interface?  Helping you would 
probably be easiest if you gave the full source code of your extension, 
along with short instructions how to build it (e.g., "call make from 
within a configured LO SDK environment").
