Tiff are indeed fine - unfortunately many apps have not implemented the full API of Tiff and support multiple channels. Does this tiff load in the flipbook or fxtree? I saw an bug report here about the latest mental ray version not being able to load tiff that had more than 4 channels, maybe you're running into that.
