From the ReadMe included:
QuoteAfter you've modified the image strip
to your liking, save it as a run-lengh encoded (RLE) 24-bit or 32-bit true color TGA
file
.  To load the new image strip into the editor, use the Import button to select the
image strip TGA file.

It sounds like you're specifying an invalid color depth.
There could be other things wrong too, though -- the image you're associating with the .bni must have exactly the right dimensions for the number of icons.

It should be compressed with Run-Length Encoding.
The program will tell you if you've specified an invalid TGA; it won't let you write a .bni which nothing can read.
