light map .iff problem.
I am having a problem however.
I need to manually creater a .iff file for the mental ray node in the light map slot of my sss skin shader.
However it does not work. It saves it as a txt document even though i change the extension to .iff, and so it will not work. Any ideas?

Warning: (Mayatomr.Shader) : mentalrayTexture1: no texture file referenced
no mental ray texture found, and the mental ray node has an 'x' through it.
Also when i plug in a texture file for my diffuse colour i get another error of: it does not show at all.
// Error: (Mayatomr.Output) : file error: C:/Documents and Settings/Edmondson/Desktop/sophie head/2.tif //
Why?
I have attatched the file,and some of the screens, will someone try to get it to work, and try to assign a texture to the head, ad get back to me
