Where did you get the icon theme from? Have you looked inside the archive? Some themes available on kde-look.org and (less often) art.gnome.org or gnome-look.org need to be compiled first (they're actually source tarballs rather than gnome-installable themes). Plus it would be useful to know if the archive is actually openable in the first place-- and by what program, so open it and look inside to see what's there. Weird error, though-- even for a theme.
