Recently I got my RMF directory set up to a new spot in my Steam Folder, with the designation being:
C:\Valve\Steam\ns_maps
Now, I just recently saved my map, an RMF into the directory... and it of course looked like this:
C:\Valve\Steam\ns_maps\first_map.rmf
Now, when I run the Run command, it loads up and says "Error: Cannot Find File", and the logs look like this:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The command failed. Windows reported the error:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Me and belgarion tried everything and nothing worked. We checklisted every other setting and the directories are the same but it seems the program doesnt like it.

There are two things you should try -- if you're using one of my builds earlier than p13, upgrade to p13 so you'll have the correct DLLs for the programs to run without crashing.
Once that's done, you should also check the "Use Long Filenames" checkbox for each step in the Run Dialog.
Can you explain that a bit clearer XP? Please, I think we're getting somewhere. What is p13? I downloaded the recent version of everything: the ZHLT, Valve Hammer Editor along with the Beta 3.5, yadda yadda. Which DLL's and which p13 are you talkin about?
p13 is Cagey's release of the compile tools. You can get it from the link in the main mapping section in the stickied topic.
Yes, I have the latest tools and did the extended file names. The only problem is it STILL doesnt like me! Here is what I have set up:
For some reason, it still doesnt detect the file. Here is the log entry:

If you have the latest copy, there should be msvc71 runtime dlls in your tools directory. These are required--if they're missing, redownload and extract the entire zip into your tools directory.
If that's not the problem, the tool paths you're using look strange to me -- the typical install directory would be "C:/Program Files/Valve/Half-Life" which would become "C:\PROGRA~1\VALVE\HALFLI~1" when using the DOS name, but you seem to have valve and half-life marked as a single directory (VALVEH~1) which may be the problem. Double-check that you've set the tool locations correctly, and use the long filenames for tool paths if possible.
Does it make a difference that the filetype isn't being passed one (the .map part?) If you really need to compile, and thats not working, try writing your own batch file, its easy enough anyone can do it. And i always try and keep my maps and everything as close to the root (?) of the drive as i can, i.e c:\nsmaps\ just to remove any chance of error.
Ah HA! Me and Kenji got set up with the batch tools and I am now swingin! Yes, I was missing those files and they are now up! w00t w00t!
The names Kouji, not Kenji 
WHOOPS! Im sorry... 
hehe nm twas a joke man
