Some of the mats that I have downloaded or extracted from other levels show up pink in 3d Preview and in Jedi Knight. Can you tell me why?

It's a colormap (cmp) error. JK only supports 256 color mats (unless you use 16 bit mats which LEC didn't because people without 3d video cards cant use them). So when you aren't using the right colormap you get the pink/purple thing going on. You need to set the master cmp in the level header editor in Jed. Pick the cmp that makes your mats look right. Remember, you will never be able to get all the mats to look right at the same time.

For more information on this consult Massassi's texturing tutorials.
