I got hit by this too. Upon looking at the source code for the grabber program, I decided that this was intentional, even though it wasn't mentioned anywhere in the documentation (*poke* Shawn). You have to align all your images on 16-pixel boundries. The reason, I think, is that it is easier to line things up in the paint program than it would be in the grabber program. Just move all your images to 16-pixel boundries, or better yet draw them that way in the first place. If you ever need to make touch-ups to your graphics, the current way will end up being a lot less hassle.
