I cannot tell you why it doesn't work, but here is a (kludge city)
work around that I came up with since I had the same problem trying to
colorize my hd's.

Just build an application with the icl8 you want using your fav
compiler.  Then you can get info on this app and cut-n-paste the icon
over to your HD.  (If you don't have a compiler you can just change
the icon info for some program you won't use and rebuild the desktop.)

If someone has a better solution, (or an explanation why you cannot
copy icl8's directly from from ResEdit2.1 to the get-info box) I'd
love to hear it.

Tchau,
Todd
