right... your sysex file is probably more like a series of patch change and sysex dump messages without any bank select commands. you can simply select patch 100, push the bank lock button and then send your file. this allows you to load any set of programs into either bank, which is more useful, especiallly if you are trying to load any of the other banks (200-900) into ram... -pc

You have to set the active bank first, the following sysex commands assume this bank. It's not a problem of M-1000, MIDI specification simply is limited to patch numbers 0..127 only, if a device allows more, it has to use banks.
