A duotone is actually a single channel grayscale image, with some tinting 
data in a special format. Whether any application other than Photoshop (even 
Lightroom...) will recognize that unusual format is always questionable, few do. 
I'd suggest using some method other than Photoshop DuoTones to define your 
tints; they are not a color managed process anyways, so some other method would 
provide more consistancy and flexibility.
