I see that you're running Zip Magic. The Bat! doesn't work
well with it. There's an exclusion list that Zip Magic provides. Add
TB! to the exclusion list.
You see, Zip Magic works a bit too well. What it does is fool
Windows into thinking that zipped archives are actual folders. You
cannot attach folders using TB! (or any mailer for that matter). The
Bat! sees zipped archives as folders with Zip Magic's virtual folder
interface enabled and this is the problem. You'll encounter the same
problem when trying to ftp stuff, so include any ftp clients in the
zip magic exclusion list as well.
Mijenix does have software that does some nice things but they
have two problems. Their software is buggy and also are becoming
distressingly monolithic. I have since uninstalled zipmagic. I've
found that it's best to just keep things simple.
