This bug is caused by single quotation marks in this file.
To fix it on your own, simply modify lgsm/functions/install_server_files.sh, by changing single quotation marks around ${steampass} to double quotation marks.

EDIT: At least it solved my problem

See also https://github.com/GameServerManagers/LinuxGSM/issues/1203 to understand the issue better.

Ultimately, since it's now fixed for master branch, you can just update your functions.
./terrariaserver uf
