keep getting the following error message whenever i try to import a maya-rendered frame or sequence of frames (IFF file format) into Adobe After Effects 5.5: 

"After Effects error: the file format module could not parse the file. (45::35)"  

I go to FILE -> IMPORT -> FILE (or MULTIPLE FILES), I then select my rendered image(s), the file type is automatically detected as Amiga IFF format, "import as footage" is checked, I click OK, and then I get the error.  

I looked in my AE plug-ins folder and I have the Amiga IFF plug-in.... isn't that enough?  

I can import other file types without any problems, just not IFF files. anyone know why?
