It would be based on your basepath and homepath. if you can drop me a PM with FTP access to your server I can fix it up for you in 5 mins. If access is not possible then check your console logs and see what path it's trying to load from. Your other settings are correct unless you are overwriting it again with different values in the config. Sometimes admins put same cvar in config couple of times which causes the issue.

Looks like xpsave path might be wrong?

U have different pk3 on your server and in your local installation.

This is engine related issue and is happening since release of Vista. This happens many times when you download new map or pk3's. When do you notice this issue?

So issue resolved? If your server is up for long run then commands send through rcon tool wouldn't be responded back because I think there is an issue in ET 3.00. Even I have faced same issue on my hardcore server. But if you use qtracker and connect at same time then you might be sending connection packets more then xx times within xx seconds and hence you are facing that issue. I would suggest to join server first then minimize ET and then start any tool to use rcon on your server. This way you wouldn't exceed packets / second.

Means stop using rcon tool or HLSW or any another tool in background and then try connecting to your server. Also make sure you are only connecting with one process i.e. one ET.exe and not 2 ET.exe. Let me know if that resolves the issue.

Try to stop your rcon tool in background and then try to connect. See if it works for you.
