Sounds like you're not using the right exporter. Use final compile.bat.

For transparent textures, click the brush you want then hit "S." From there check mark trans33 or trans66 depending on how clear you want it, then hit "Apply Brush."

You can also use qbsp.fastvis rad.bat for just testing the lights, use final compile before you release a new (beta) version of the map.

For totally invisible platforms do what Spook said but use the nodraw flag instead.
