ID 607997 - KatanaUsdPlugins does not properly read material surface connections

Problem summary
KatanaUsdPlugins does not properly read material surface connections
 
Customer reported version
Katana 8.0v4
 
Customer reported platform
Alma 9
 
Steps to reproduce
 
1) Download the attached test_material.usda file. 

2) In Katana, create a UsdIn node and import the downloaded file. 

3) Expand the Scenegraph. Under the Viewer Tab, verify that Display > Basic Material is unchecked.
 
4) Observe one cube is not colored blue. Select the mtl_connect_surface material and observe the missing attributes under material.terminals compared to the other materials.
 
Expected behaviour
The material should be properly imported and applied to the cube.
 
Actual behaviour
Some attributes are not being generated so that material is being imported and applied incorrectly. 
 
Workaround
It is possible to use an AttributeCopy node to duplicate the attributes from one material to another, allowing the final cube to be turned blue.
