Helping out a friend with some code and a few issues have come up during validation that don't make sense to me... any help would be fantastic! Thanks!

Without wishing to sound
Without wishing to sound unhelpful 
there are rather self explanatory, in fact explicitly explained!
Read the reason given for the error, then decide what level of CSS you want to validate to.
I would check up on the use of opacity as to use it effectively you will need various property statements to suit older browsers, there is a mixture of proprietary properties and vendor specific extensions such as the developer testing -moz prefix.
A note about CSS validation: it is far less critical than markup validation, CSS has error handling, and many errors notified are really warnings and need to be interpreted as to their importance.
Google some guides on opacity but here's one to start with:
