Do you have the server running? If so, you will need to shut it down before you run the updater.

You will find the game server needs to be off to do most things.

Have been very busy and have had another go at it just now. It is saying that it is all up to date but when I try joining the server I get this message.
This server is using an older protocol than your client.
I can join other servers fine.

Any ideas?

You could try running the updater again with the -verify_all command. This may help catch files that weren't caught before. The only drawback to that option is that it takes longer to update with it.

So I would put this into cmd
cd\Game installs
hldsupdatetool.exe -command update -game "tf" -dir TF2 -verify_all

This is what was in my default .bat file:
title GamePackages TF2
@HldsUpdateTool.exe -command update -dir . -game tf -verify_all
pause
