mask works fine for me:

20 = IMAGE
20 {
	offset = 0,170
	file = GIFBUILDER
	file {
		XY = 300,33
		10 = BOX
		10 {
			dimensions = 0,0,300,33
			color = #cc0033
		}
	}
	mask = GIFBUILDER
	mask {
		XY = 300,33
		10 = BOX
		10 {
			dimensions = 0,0,300,33
			color = #888888
		}
	}
}

How is .opacity different (apart from being simpler) ?

Can't you add all the different layer-combination modes like in 
Photoshop (overlay, screen, multiply, color burn, hue, color, etc.)?
