I had a minor success earlier... I managed to get steam to run without the segmentation fault as the root user. I tested it on a temp server setup and it updated no problem. That rules out a fundamental fault in the application.
After changing the permissions of all the updated files to the gameserver user, I still got the annoying segmentation error in the console as the user. It seems to be some kind of file permissions issue but I can't quite put my finger on it yet. Every single file is chowned to the user. Oh - and despite the root user getting the updates successfully, the console still says it needs to update to the latest version. weird.
I removed the /root/.steam folder as suggested but this made no difference (but thanks for pointing out yet another blob file for me.) maybe it just needs a base server reboot to kick it back into gear. will let you all know soon.
Still, its a mini success
Anyone?
