I'd like to set up the first six moves, and then start a new game with another player. When I try to castle, however, it says
"Illegal piece positioning for white king side castle"
despite the fact that Castling Available is on. Is there a trick to castling other than just moving the king two spots right? Once this happens, it no longer presents the "start with this board" button.

There's the board after four moves. I'm trying to castle to the king side. "Castling available" is checked. If I try to castle, I get the error messages.

I suggest you give a "send feedback" to the RHP staff and ask them. There's a link at the bottom of each page. Refer to this thread. And please tell us what happens.
