POIs with CSV extension are comma-delimited format files and not an Excel format. Excel just happens to support CSV format.
When you download the file, do you open it or save it? If you open it rather than saving it, do you save the content as .XLS extension? The POI Loader only seaches for .CSV and .GPX extensions.
One more thing. When you save from Excel, be sure to select CSV (comma delimited) type instead of the default Excel workbook.
