Being admin is not the same as having write privledges... see if you can make a new text file or something in your q3ut4\maps folder WITHOUT clicking through any UAC prompts

(1) I didnt see you specify a texture or other effect (like the embedded { }'s in xandaxs's post)
(2) you probably have some other brush underneath/inside your water brush that isn't nonsolid

I think I just told you the solution....

I didnt even see you posted until now (2) I've told you how to list the shader file already (3) no your folder looks wrong, there is a 'q3ut4...
