PIL doesn't support CCITT encodings out of the box.  the following
patch might help:

    http://mail.python.org/pipermail/image-sig/2003-July/002354.html

(unfortunately, this currently depends on libtiff internals, which is
why it wasn't added to 1.1.5)

an alternative solution is to pipe your files through tiffcp (see James
mail for details).
