Yup, its a bug with srcds. Valve is working on a fix.

Alfred (from valve) Wrote:Just to remind everyone, if you see "Steam Validation Rejected" errors
from your users running a Source server get this BETA update to fix it.
You get it by adding "-beta swapbeta" to the command line. This beta
includes a new steamclient.dll. If you have this error on HL1 based
servers you can also copy this updated binary to those servers to test
the fix.

Ok this is the way to do it:
Run your hldsupdatetool with this command:

hldsupdatetool -command update -game "Counter-Strike Source" -dir . -beta swapbeta

it will download a better dll for steam and then it works!

Keep in mind this fix is BETA... So it may surface more bugs, which is why its only beta.
