Just put it it in the "maps" folder and if your map requires any thing else put them in the same folders the the map came zipped up in.

Apparently, TF2 (Mac) says the version of the game my server has (for SRCDS) is older… wut? I mean, I followed all the instructions. My friends verified that by connecting to my server using their Windows PCs (to see if the problem could be reproduced using both supported operating systems.)

The server is operated with the latest version of Ubuntu 11.04 & WINE (because when I did the steps using the Linux instructions, I think the server "denied it" by shutting itself down whenever it reached 80%.) AMD 64 X2, 2mbps up, 4GB RAM… this and that.

I hope someone can help me with this. Otherwise, could it (perhaps) be Valve's issue of not keeping the files for servers up-to-date?

Look in the cfg directory of the server, make a file called server.cfg in there.
