Report it to the skin author. Third party skins/plugins are not supported.

I had the same error with this skin as well, so I decided to poke around and see if I could figure it out. There is some XML that was commented out incorrectly that was causing the problem.

Change the skin's extension to .zip and extract all the files. Open the folder that is created and browse to the XML directory.

Open the elements.xml file in notepad and change the very last line from ->> to --> and that should fix the problem.

While you're at it, there's also an extraneous close tag on line 129 of player-normal-group.xml that should be deleted--it doesn't seem to cause any problems, but I suppose it could depending on future changes to Winamp.

After you're done editing, you can just drag the whole folder into the winamp/skins directory and delete the original .WAL skin file.

Hope that helps!
