You need to supply the commands you run steamcmd with.

C:\Program Files (x86)\TCAdmin Control Panel\Monitor\steamcmd\steamcmd.exe +login %STEAMLOGIN% +force_install_dir G:\TCAdmin_Game_Installs\82ndab\GameServers\Arma3 +"app_update 107410 -beta" validate +quit

Original folder structure was:

G:\TCAdmin_Game_Installs\82ndab\GameServers

                                           Arma3
                                                SteamApps
                                                         common
                                                               Arma3 - arma3.exe (and all relevent files/folders) here

New structure with steamcmd install

G:\TCAdmin_Game_Installs\82ndab\GameServers

Arma3 - arma3server.exe (and all relevent files/folders) here
     SteamApps
              common
                    Arma3 - needed to update install here for it to work

This is probably no longer an issue
