What game type are you specifying with the -game parameter? Make sure that game has a folder in with its same name in your HLDS home dir. Also, it should have a liblist.gam.

post your exact command line when you run it, maybe more eyes might help point out something that has been missed.

Did you run steam hlds update tool with cstrike specified to download cs content?

If so, their is a /cstrike folder in the hlds dir with maps / dlls folders and liblist.gam file?
