ERROR: bias image "BIAS" not open!

I'm trying to use the CCD package to reduce some photometry and am having a few problems.

I used Plugins > CCD > Set Calibration Pipeline to set the relevant keywords for my fits files (I couldn't see one to  set the filters (our's is FILTERS not FiLTER so I had to add it - is there a better way of doing that?).

Then when I do Plugins > CCD > Calibration Pipeline it correctly finds all my images, produces a BIAS which it saves in calib/BIAS.fits. But then when the pipeline moves on to do flats it loads the correct files, but then when I check the bias subtraction box I get an error "The bias image "BIAS" is not open. Check for a missing/superfluous file extension and the whole thing crashes. I cannot figure out what I'm doing wrong here. I've also tried typing in the box the full path to the BIAS.fits file but that still doesn't work. Any help would be really appreciated. I'm on a Mac running AstroImageJ64 if that helps.
