First, note that you have not sent mail to one person, but to a public
mailing-list. This is, as you were supposing, not the proper list for
feedback on the CSS validation service, www-validator-css (which I
copied in this message, please follow-up there and avoid www-validator
in any reply) is.
Also, please avoid sending messages in HTML on a mailing-list. This is
often considered rude. Surely hotmail has options to send messages as
plain text.
Last, note that the www-validator and www-validator-css mailing-lists
are not supposed to be help forums for HTML and CSS authoring. There
are plenty of forums on the Web dedicated to that.
Anyway, onto your question...

Several of the properties you are using are proprietary (i.e
non-standard). This is why the CSS validator is complaining that these
properties "do not exist". (hint: if a property name or syntax has the
name of a browser vendor in it, chances are it's proprietary... :)
For a list of all properties in CSS2, see:
http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/propidx.html
Also, you are misusing the rect() syntax (hence the "parse error" on
that line).
http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/visufx.html#value-def-shape has the proper
syntax.
Hope this helps.
