If your TIFF files are in 16 bits / color/ pixel, it's normal because digikam 
0.8.0 do not support this bytesdepth. current instable source code on svn 
(future 0.9.0) support now 16 bits images.

If you have a doubt about your tiff files, try 'identify' tool from IM with 
--verboze option. 

You can send me a sample to test here if you want (outside the ML ==> caulier
