Well, I'm new to map modding, and here is what I've done so far:

I did the box tutorial thing, but expanded on it. I have 3ds Max 2009 so I finally got Bluestreak to export, but when I tried Tool it failed, but it was the overlapping geometry. So I just did a cube. It compiled. I used Guerilla perfectly. Now I m trying to use Sapien but when I open the .scenario tag it it just flashes a couple windows and closes. Debug says:

05.06.08 16:39:07 sapien pc 01.00.00.0609 ----------------------------------------------
05.06.08 16:39:07 reference function: _write_to_error_file
05.06.08 16:39:07 reference address: 401b13
05.06.08 16:39:07 Couldn't read map file './sapienbeta.map'

What do I do?

Try reexporting your .jms file. Also, I'm not an expert on 3ds MAX, especially 2009. Is this a map or what?

Yeah, new map.

I reexported it and now it flashes a couple windows (output, tool, properties, and hierarchy) for about five seconds and then closes, and I can't take a screenshot for some reason.

Its impossible to takescreenshots. The Game is loading. As for:

05.07.08 06:03:39 sapien pc 01.00.00.0609 ----------------------------------------------
05.07.08 06:03:39 reference function: _write_to_error_file
05.07.08 06:03:39 reference address: 401b13
05.07.08 06:03:39 Couldn't read map file './sapienbeta.map'
05.07.08 06:03:40 CreateDevice succeeded with refresh rate = 0
05.07.08 06:03:40 Increasing sound decompression buffer size to 1048576 bytes

Its normal. Sapien, Guerilla and tool always have these errors.

As for the rest, you might have to recheck your Gmax file. From what I can tell, you've missed some Background environment and sound. I will stop here since I too am a Gmax beginner.
