Had the exact same problem, had to add the quotes to get it to work.
Example:
steamcmd.exe +login "anonymous" +force_install_dir
"C:\yourserver\server1" "+app_update 232250 -beta prerelease" validate
quit
Notice the quotes between app_update and prerelease section, thats
what I was missing. It should only download like 1 or 2 small files,
start it up and try the commands again.
