opps...i just read the start of your thread again and I believe to know what the problem is
You said and I quote:

Hm, actually you're not supposed to copy the pak files over AFTER you've installed the point release
What you do in general is, since I assume that you're using a WINDOWS Q3A CD, you copy the baseq3 folder to your system:
1) create a folder like /usr/local/games/quake3 first
2) copy the baseq3 folder from the CD to /usr/local/games/quake3/baseq3
3) then you install the point release which also installs the binaries and other files you need to start the game
that's pretty much how you're supposed to do it and not the other way around
Just wanna make sure that you didn't misstype yourself - is that how you installed the game? Run point release first and then copy the pak files over? If so, I could give you a stey-by-step guidance on how to reinstall everything properly...
