I had the same problem.. but.. I figured it out.

First of all, load your map into Auto-desk 3ds Max,
then press "M" to bring up the material editor.

Find the little icon that represents "Material Editor Options". ( its the 7th icon from the top ).
Change the "Ambient Light" color to pure "White"

Press "Apply" then "OK".

Render your map (F9) , and you'll see that everything is very bright with light.

Now.. make the bitmaps, then do the "structure" command.

After that, load your map into Sapien.

While in Sapien, do the 3 commands: radiosity_quality, start, and save.
When you exit that command line, you'll have your map lit.

Do the "Build-cache-file" command and then load up HaloCe and Enjoy your newly lit map!
