Welcome to your first lesson in cubemaps
Very early on, before you start the fine detailing in your maps, depending on what sky texture you're using your reflective surfaces will be looking for something to reflect. If they don't know what they're supposed to reflect, they'll default to the "missing" texture, the purple checkers. A very simple and rudimentary fix is putting an env_cubemap entity anywhere in your map. Run your map, and in console, type buildcubemaps

You need to build cubemaps with HDR and without it. The error is normal at this stage. So basically you do this:
map mapname
sv_cheats 1 (i usually do this just incase)
mat_specular 0
buildcubemaps (wait for them to build)
disconnect
mat_specular 1
mat_reloadallmaterials
switch HDR on or off (off if it was on, on if it was off for the first build)
map mapname
mat_specular 0
buildcubemaps
Done.
