codesign returns "no such identity" with Apple provided cert in Mac OS X 10.5

I joined the Apple iPhone developer program at the $99 level and got my access to the developer portal.  I followed all the directions for creating a certificate signing request, sending it Apple, downloading and installing it along with the WWDC certificate, creating an app id, setting the provision and downloading and installing the provision into Xcode, etc. and when trying to get ANY application to install on the iPhone I keep getting stopped at the same point--codesigning.

In desperation, I've tried to isolate the problem by creating a simple Mac os X 10.5 app (not for the iPhone) and codesigning it, outside of the iPhone.  Same problem.  I always get a "no such identity" error when trying to use the Apple provided cert.  I have tried all manner of string combinations:  "iPhone Developer: <First> <Last>", "iPhone", "Developer" etc.

So, for example, given a simple app called "app1.app", I try something like the following from Terminal:

$ codesign -s "iPhone Developer" app1.app

and I get the following error:

$ iPhone Developer: no such identity

I've tried using "sudo" and no difference.  I've cleaned out my keychain from any leftover apple provided certs.  I've backed up my keychains and started with an empty ~/Library/Keychains directory and created brand new login keychain and imported the certs into that and still the same problem.  I've also run the Keychain first aid to fix any issues and rebooting between attempts, etc.  I can't get the --verbose flag to tell me anything

If I create a self-signed cert, all works well and my app gets signed. 

The only other unique thing about my environment might be that I migrated from a PPC laptop (a power pc g4 powerbook) to a newer 2.5Ghz, core duo Intel based macbook pro and maybe something got messed up with that.  But I used the standard apple tools to do that.

I am completely stopped in developing for the Apple platform at this point.  I've spent three days trying to figure this out.  I've used PKI systems in the past and have never had this much trouble.
