Hi, Mark.
Part of the problem is that the generic PIL.Image.open method
discards exceptions from the image format handlers so the
exception you get is not a very useful one. You can get a
better exception by using the TiffImagePlugin directly to open
the image which is what is handling TIFF images by default in
PIL 1.1.7. Here's what I get with Python 2.7.2:
===
>>> import PIL.TiffImagePlugin
f = PIL.TiffImagePlugin.TiffImageFile(fp="/tmp/im.tif")
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>

line 637, in _setup
raise SyntaxError, "unknown pixel mode"
SyntaxError: unknown pixel mode
===
So it seems to be unhappy about the pixel mode.
