What happens if you load the sample Baby picture? If that works then it must be something up with your pictures.

In Photovcarve after you save tool-paths do you also go under files and save as; Photovcarve file (*.pvc) and then when you open Vcarve under files; import, Photovcarve or cut3d toolpaths ? The files must be imported to be seen in Vcarve.

Another thought might be when your in PhotoVcarve under preview and tool-paths do you turn on the fill in color ? I always use the black fill in, but I tried one with it turned off and basically got a big brown picture like you described .
