EDIT: I downloaded your urdfstl.tar.gz, but was unable to run it unmodified, because a lot of files are missing. So I constructed a minimal example from your files which runs just fine and displays the meshes in RViz. You can get it here. If you still cannot get it to run, first try to construct a minimal example (i.e., only one or two meshes, only the files needed to reproduce the error, all files trimmed down to a minimum) and then upload the complete package folder including all necessary files.
