You cannot have an empty list environment, at any pass
over a page.

Your coding gives the following.

1st pass:
   \begin{colitemize}
   \end{colitemize}

2nd pass:
   \begin{colitemize}
    \item{A}
   \end{colitemize}

3rd pass:
   \begin{colitemize}
    \item{A}
    \item{B}
   \end{colitemize}

4th pass:
   \begin{colitemize}
    \item{A}
    \item{B}
    \item{C
	  \begin{colitemize}
	  \end{colitemize}
   \end{colitemize}

...etc...

The 1st and 4th passes contain empty lists,
which give warning messages of the type
you have seen.

Study the docs for TeXPower, to learn how to achieve
what you want to do.


Hope this helps,
