The reload dosen't seem to work if you aren't buying in for the maximum

When I go to zero, no matter what I have set, it rebuys the max. Also when I turn that off and set manual reload, it simply stays on FullTilts default setting if I bust the previous hand and click on get chips. At least one other person is having the exact same issues as me.

Auto-reload (if enabled) always reloads you to the maximum. You can set the point at which it will reload you (when your stack drops below a certain % of maximum). If you play with a short stack, then auto-reload won't be of help. (If you are interested in the reasons why... Auto-reload reloads in the middle of a hand, so that you don't miss a hand if you get stacked. But you don't want to rebuy if you don't get stacked. There isn't enough time after the hand is over for the software to do the rebuy at the end of the hand and not miss a hand. So the software clicks the rebuy to the max in the middle of the hand, and if the player wins the hand, Full Tilt prevents the stack from going over maximum).

Manual reload needs to know how many chips are in your stack in order to reload your stack to the amount that you set in the Manual Reload Amount. The program reads your stack from your player's box. If it says "sitting out", it doesn't know the amount left in your stack. Consequently you can't manually reload if your stack number is not visible (unless you are manually reloading to 100%, in which case the program just clicks the manual reload to max button).

So, for playing the short stack, you can manually reload while your stack number is still visible, and use the normal get chips button in the case where you are out of chips and don't reload before Full Tilt changes your player's box to "Sitting Out".

The documentation webpage for the software has some more info about this too.
