They must be saved as ".gbr" images, not ".xcf" images.
Since I am at it:
brushes can either bey RGBA images, or GRAY (with no alpha) images.
In the first case, they always will be painted with the colors that
show up in the original image. In the second case, what is white in
the image becomes transparent in the brush, and black on the image
becomes colored in the brush. The brush uses whatever color the GIMP
is painting in.
