I've not had any troubles with steamcmd and I've used it to dl both hlds and
srcds.
Here's an example of my what I use to grab tfc files. I use a basic txt file
and execute it via a simple bat file. I don't see the need to validate each
time so I comment that out until needed.
// Team Fortress Classic
// C:\HLDS\tfc
//
@ShutdownOnFailedCommand 1 //set to 0 if updating multiple servers at once
@NoPromptForPassword 1
login anonymous
force_install_dir ../hlds
app_set_config 90 mod tfc
app_update 90
// validate
quit

Subject: Re: [hlds] Can't get steamcmd to install hlds/gearbox
I'm not sure where on the wiki it shows these in quotes, but on the page I
referenced, where I got the examples from, it most definitely does not put
these in quotes. However, this makes some sense as it is easier to parse
parameters if they are in quotes, rather than try to figure out what value goes
with what parameter. I'm just guessing on this, idk what algorithm they use to
parse command line parameters.
Putting these in quotes, like this:
steamcmd +login anonymous +force_install_dir d:\gb1
+app_set_config "90 mod gearbox" +app_update "90 validate" +quit
on the first pass it actually downloaded the valve content. It
also downloaded cstrike content, which I neither wanted nor asked
for. It did not, and will not, download gearbox content. A step in
the right direction - now how to force it to download gearbox
content?
So I loaded steamcmd, and from the steamcmd command line did this:
+app_set_config 90 mod gearbox
app_update
And when I did that it downloaded gearbox content. Not sure why it
wouldn't work by passing the above parameters.
Is it me or is steamcmd a bit on the buggy side?

Shouldn't the +app_set_config value be in quotes?
