You've got a bad file somewhere. Hopefully it's in the munged files, which can be fixed by a manual clean and re-munging. You've never stopped a munge have you?

No. I'll try a manual clean, becuase this sometimes happens after a VM clean.
edit1--tried a complete man. clean. still the same errors.

Something hasn't saved correctly when you were working on your map, so during the munge it can't build common.files because one of your files is corrupted. Not much you can do I'm afraid.

From having seen this in previous topics it may also be a windows pathing problem.
Sorry can't remember where or when I saw it. (hmm not much help am I
)
Try creating a new map and munging it again (after the intitial build munge) and see if you get the same errors. If you do then it would be the Windows pathing thing I mentioned, if not then it is probably as Teancum mentioned.

You have to munge Common before you can munge some of the other items. Do a full, manual clean then only check Common when you remunge.
To better understand your error message, it is looking for the file ..\..\common\munged\pc\common.files and it can't find it. Files under munged are created by VisualMunge. So it is saying it can't find a file that it should have generated earlier in the munge process. The bit about your .req file is just that it came across the file not found error when it was converting that req into a lvl file. It doesn't directly mean something is wrong with your req.

Go into the command prompt, change your current directory to the BF2_ModTools directory and type in "tree>dirtree.txt" (without the quotes of course). This should create a file called dirtree.txt. Upload this so that we can take a look at it. This doesn't show the files inside each folder, but it does show the folder structure, so we should be able to tell if you have a group of folders missing.
Also, you say "occasionally" in your first post. Is this really true, or does it happen all the time?

Where do I put the "tree<dirtree.txt" thing?
Also, I think that some of the files were corrupted, becuase when I replaced them with ones from a map that was created a while ago, everything worked fine, so I think that there is something wrong with the files in the data folder.
thanks

Why did you touch the files in the data folder? The docs say specifically: DO NOT MODIFY ANY FILES IN THIS FOLDER.
Do you know what the command prompt is? Open it and redirect yourself (using the "cd" command) to you BF2_ModTools directory. This is where you type in tree<dirtree.txt.
If you have any questions on using or opening the command prompt, search Google.
