./srcds_run -console -game hl2mp +map dm_sniper_tkc2_d -maxplayers 10 -autoupdate -port 27040

Same problem, no solution. I think there was a clientupdate and they have forgotten to publish the server update.

Tried updating with -verify_all ?

Exact same situation, same exact problem here. My guys haven't been able to join the server in days due to the "Failed to get server encryption key" problem.

Anyone have a working solution to this?

Try re-downloading a totally clean copy of srcds and see if it will run.
