Is there really noone who could help me with this error?

I found the error.
Your srcds installation has to be placed in the first 3 directory levels.

/aaa/bbb/ccc/ddd/srcds_run WILL NOT WORK!
/aaa/bbb/ccc/srcds_run WILL WORK!

Yes i figured out how to fix this i had same thing i went to the scripts folder and opend surfaceproperties_manifest it says all this stuff take out these // List additional surface property files here:
// Override this file in your mod directory so you can load the base HL2 file as well
// as new properties.
// NOTE: Listing a property twice (e.g. in separate files) means that
// the values in the second definition will override the first definition

// NOTE: Each file must have a unique name. The physics system does not understand mods and will not
// parse the same file (compared by name) twice.

take all that out and it should work
