after trying this a couple dozen different ways I can conclude nothing else than WorldMapper just hates me...

that being said, I continue to get the same error while trying simply to open a propdump using File>Open Propdump... I select the file, click Open, and get the Error message:
Error "Access violation at address 00488D65 in module 'wmapper.exe'. Read of address FFFFFFFF" scanning at propdump, line 105
I could not begin to know what that means... is it that something is wrong with my propdump file or possibly I unzipped the mapper program in some forbidden way.

Ack! no idea...
Also, I should point out that this is a file that is in normal propdump format and when I input it into my bot, builds the area just fine.
