Can you explain a bit more when you say they wont work? Do you mean that autofocus and exposure aren't working? Autofocus doesn't work with tubes and auto exposure may only work if the tubes have a full set of electrical contacts, many dont. So full manual is your option.
Incidentally extension tubes wont give very good quality pictures with a zoom lens, you should really use a prime.

If that lens doesn't have an aperture ring, you won't be able to use it with extension tubes that don't have electrical contacts.My lens is a sigma 18-50mm(f3.5 - 4.5).
I suggest anyway getting a second-hand manual-focus 50, 90 or 100mm prime (non zoom) lens off eBay.
