It could depend on what's in the "Custom_Story_Settings" file, but it could also be that the game is case-sensitive about the file name, and that you should rename it to "custom_story_settings.cfg" instead. Also, the user YourComputer had it not show up in his list despite everything being okay, and he just reloaded the game and it worked, so that might help too.

Edit:
Wait a minute: Is that file "TheAwakaning" supposed to be the map file? If so, that file is supposed to be in the "maps\" folder, and have the extension ".map".
You should also note that it's spelled "awakening".

Your map is called "The Awakaning.map", but your config (.cfg) file says that the map to load is called "TheAwakening.map", with both an "e" and without a space. Rename either the map or the .cfg entry.

If the map is called "TheAwakening.map", and resides in the "TheAwakening\maps\" folder, and it still doesn't work, then I'm wondering if you've added the "custom_stories\" folder to "resources.cfg", and followed all the other steps in the environment setup guide here:
