Restart wow.
Also try a clean install of Hb in a brand new folder.

Hi, Zaraki255,

You have to start the WoWclient and log into your toon first, THEN start Honorbuddy. Both the WoWclient and Honorbuddy should be running with Windoze admin privileges.

Its worth the time to give a quick read through this, it will save you a lot of heartburn:
