More than likely you either (a) already have the palette loaded, or (b) you  
have a class used in both your new palette and a palette that is already  
loaded.  If you don't have anything other than the standard palettes loaded,  
then you might have a problem with your palette.table file in the ExportClasses  
list.  Make sure you have all your external (i.e. ones that IB will see like  
Inspectors) named here.
