You got it Lino Exposure compensation is simple a tool built into the camera to allow the user to "compensate" for the exposure up and down depending on what is needed or desired

thanks in advance!

Well there not stains, but more a lack of information most likely. I get these sometimes too, but usually in water not clouds. If you look at your original exposure's used for the HDR, I would guess the sky is probubly blown where thos stains are? If not you may have went to far in photomatix tonemapping. If you want, post the originals so I can see and I'll tell you for sure what happened.
