OK, so I got it working.
I could not run the dedicated server and the game on the same machine. I had to put the server on a separate computer, I also had to create a second steam account to run on that computer, I think the -NOSTEAM was causing the AUTH issue and I couldnt run server and game on the same machine since they needed separate steam accounts 
Also, having the server load a map to start is necessary since if its just sitting at the main menu there is no game to join.
this is my shortcut properties
