"Fatal Error: Could not initialize vgui." means something failed trying to load vgui2.dll. Make sure you run the dedicated server (and run a server, any mod) BEFORE using the SteamApp.cfg to initialize all the basic content. If that fails try using the "hldsupdatetool.exe" generate image to debug the server.
