Simple URLs including taxonomies

I have custom post type called books. This has a category taxonomy, called book_types. So, for example:

Books -> Fiction -> Da Vinci Code

– Custom Post Type: Books
– Custom Taxonomy: Book Types (fiction, non fiction, etc)
– Single entry: Da Vinci Code

I use the Custom Post Type Permalinks plugin as recommended in this forum. So I would have the permalinks structure to be:

    /books/fiction#da-vinci-code 
    /books/non-fiction#art-of-war 
   ....

This means the taxonomy template is the important one. So I have a template: taxonomy-book_types.php

But this doesn’t work. WP gives a 404. What am I missing? My code to create the CPT and Taxonomy is below. And yes, I have flushed the Permalinks many times. What precise settings are needed:

1. In CPT for the post type “books”
2. In CPT for post type taxonomy (categ) called “book_types”
3. In the CPT Permalinks plugin for this section?
