Hmm.... ok here's your sig (this is more for the benefit of others on
this thread who may be trying to troubleshoot after Brandon's site
deletes the test results):

X-DKIM: OpenDKIM Filter v2.2.2 xplist.com p15CC1fQ017566
DKIM-Signature: v=1; a=rsa-sha256; c=relaxed/simple; d=xplist.com;
        s=default; t=1296907922;
        bh=G7FrUpF2gjcHAafg4PeWw8nn7nlgc1wI7H08E2Ov0as=;
        h=From:To:Subject:Date:Message-ID:MIME-Version:Content-Type;

And here's your DNS TXT record for that domain/selector:

"v=DKIM1; r=postmaster; g=*; k=rsa;
p=MIGfMA0GCSqGSIb3DQEBAQUAA4GNADCBiQKBgQCWxR0iNvEJtRtVyTIqx3mpaayatCFfQjlB+hCoOF8kKEdcj4ij0n70CgBhM3YZO+Oj63qvzWlkq5Dn0aJZFkoW7v2R5v4ojYjLkTwFD6YQMsCqWnL7qItC/FxPidbnD5FzXMBG4vJAFxhS9YrIDaXE5RvKMi40XCaU/nAyl0E5FQIDAQAB"

Structurally, I can't see anything obvious, which makes me wonder if
something in the key itself is hosed? Normally I'd worry about
notepad, but if there's no break in the txt value, then you should be
fine.

I had an issue like this once that I actually resolved by deleting the
old keys, running the genkey script again, and re-pasting the DNS TXT
record. Have you tried that?

Anybody else see anything obvious that I'm missing? I'm sure Murray
will jump in here in a minute with some more scientific command-line
test procedures. :)
