i don't know how familiar you are with how the compile works, but it happens over several stages. first it takes your .vmf that you made in hammer, and it gets compiled into a raw .bsp file, with no vis data or lighting included. then the next stage of the compile takes over, adding vis data to the raw .bsp that was generated in the first stage.
that's where your 'can't find file' is appearing. your compile didn't finish the first part, so there is no raw .bsp for the 2nd stage of the compile to work with. the 3rd and 4th stages will also cry about the missing file.
so the 'can't find file' really means there was a problem with the 1st stage, not that your comp doesn't know where to look.

node with unbounded volume seems to be connected with poorly positioned brushwork; vertices off grid, microbrushes, etc.
micro brushes are often caused by carving with anything other than one simple block from another. also by using the clip tool without checking that the resulting endpoints of all the newly clipped brushes are on the grid.
