Why can't XCode sign an app for distribution outside the app store

I just posted a signed version of my app as an update and numerous users report Apple wants to block it because I am not an identified developer. But I signed it as directed by Apple and all within XCode. I found the details at

https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/IDEs/Conceptual/AppDistributionGuide/DistributingApplicationsOutside/DistributingApplicationsOutside.html

with steps:

1. In project settings, sign with Developer ID identity (verifyed as valid and current in keychain and in XCode) and insure unique bundle ID
2. Create an Archive of the application
3. In organizer validate the signing for distribution outside the app store - reponse is valid
4. In organized export as application to be distributed outside the app store. I select team and the processes and it exports
5. Post that version, but whenmpeople download it reports the developer cannot be identified

Is there any hope to distribute outside the app store?
