Skybox Breaking Packed Map

I'm using pakrat to pack everything; my skybox (sky_halloween) gets packed also, but only the .vmt's. I test the map and everything is fine but the sky streaks. I then pack the .vtf's, retest the map and the sky still streaks. I delete the .vmt's and .vtf's, test and all my models are invisible or giant error signs, but the skybox works fine.

Here is my maps compile log, prior to being packed

I appreciate the help in pointing out the errors but that's not what I'm talking about. Interlopers states that the problem genuinely can be ignored if there aren't any problems seen in game (which there aren't) the problem here is pack rat. I was able to fix it via powershell stuff but I'd like to be able to use pack rat.
