Hi Skyler,
If you are loading the game via the parameters:
-game "c:\absolutepathto\moddir"
The localization file will not load. This is because the '<moddir>_' prefix is loaded from the -game parameter. This is a bug in the engine, and I have reported it. I am told that this is being fixed.
If you wish to temporarilly get around this, copy your mod into SteamApps/<username>/half-life 2/<moddir> and run HL2 with
-game moddir
That is - run it without any qoutes, and use the relative folder name.. the same way as you would have loaded a HL1 mod.
Hope this helps.

I forgot to answer your question, there were no #'s in the file. A sample line looks like this:
"HL2_Crowbar" "CROWBAR"
