Ryan, You must be entering the numbers in "Key Signature" transposition. Note that I specified "Chromatic" transposition. I also specified that the staff should be set to have an independent key signature of C major. If you follow my steps exactly, you will have a staff for Horn in B natural with no key signature, no matter what the key of the piece is.
Your numbers (8 and -5) work for "Key Signature" transposition. In this case, in order to ensure that the horn part has no key signature you'd need to give it an independent one of B major (unless the piece is already in B major, which it may well be).
