After following the vtex tut I got the vtf files generated and did the little stuff in notepad and pasted it into this directory:
C:ValveSteamSteamAppsusernamecounter-strike sourcecstrikematerialscustomtex

But the textures don't show up in hammer they are all made from 512*512 32bit tga's.

Help appreciated.

Well its probably nothing serius, hammer finds your .vtf files by using .vmt files. These files are basicly some lines of text that describes where the file is located, where it got it's bumpmap located, if its transculent etc etc etc.
You should make a text file with the same name as your texture (like mytexture.vmt), then open it and select notpad as default "open with...". You should have this lines of code in it:

"LightmappedGeneric"
{
"$basetexture" "customtexmytexture"
}

If you've already done this then check for the most obvius error: that youv'e selected counter-strike source in the source SDK menu before starting hammer ;D

Cheers rappy.

I realised I accidentally left the file type to .txt document so it saved as 'wood006.vmt.txt'

saying cheers coz u made me double check the coding in me .vmt files, which made me realise the mistake.
