Those macros must be on an action bar that is enabled. This means you can't set RIFT to use 1 side bar, put your macros on that bar, and then set RIFT back to use no side bars. In that case those macros don't work. I'm pretty sure you also can't disable that bar in Edit Layout.
What I do to avoid this is to leave the side bars enabled but turn make them as small as possible and turn their opacity right down using Edit Layout. I rarely change anything on those bars so this works well for me. YMMV.
