You need to create a database entry for your PriorityMail.csv file (look
at dbconf/*/Ground.dbm for an example.)

At that point, if you added the USPSPM method (guessed, you don't
mention its code, only its label) it should work upon reconfig,
presuming you selected "UPS Internal" as the type and set up the
originating zip correctly.
