You are putting your skin in the path of the old sorceress skin, and the units by default use the new skin. Try importing your soceress skin to

"units\Human\Sorceress\BloodElfSorceress.blp"

That should work.

Good luck

Is this forced in TFT or can't you just change the unit so that it doesn't require the Frozen Throne version? (there is a selection of Roc/TFT field in the unit's file).

In the Unit Editor, you can set the version to RoC or TFT. If you set it to RoC, it will use "units\human\sorceress\sorceress.blp", and if you set it to TFT it will use "units\Human\Sorceress\BloodElfSorceress.blp"

Wow, thanks!!

Umm where can i find the new list of stuff? I always use image extractor II or www.worstoftheworst.net but i guess theyre outdated for some things.

I usually just hex edit the .mdx file to get the path for the model, its a lot easier than digging through the .mpq.

It's an image extractor/converter with previewing support. Take a look at it in the link on my signature. To Hex edit you need an hex editing program, normal text editors will screw up the files removing special characters. You can get Ultra Edit here: www.idmcomp.com but know that it's shareware.
