Band-in-a-Box recognizes two time signature, 4/4 and 3/4 (waltz time). Every other time signature is a derivative of one of these two. RealTracks might be recorded in 6/8 or 12/8 but the program is counting in 3/4 or 6/8.

VideoTrack also pointed out a gotcha' that needs to be highlighted in more detail. If you have a song with multiple time signatures the song has to start with the 4/4 time signature.
