BlackBerry signing: incorrect CSK password

I am unable to compile my BlackBerry app, due to an incorrect CSK password.

Andrew tells me the message I am getting is:
[java] 2012-02-07 23:28:04:0401 : SignatureTool Started
[java] Finding Files...
[java] Loading Files: 0%Loading Files: 100%2012-02-07 23:28:04:0729 : SignatureTool Stopped
[java] Failed - See details
[java] The signature on the code signing request didn't verify. The likely cause of this problem is entering an incorrect CSK password.

Changing the password has not solved the problem for me. I wonder if I could be doing something else wrong. Here's what I have been doing:

1. Get the signing files. I use the link defined here to get them:
https://build.phonegap.com/docs/black...

2. I then follow the instructions in the email I get back from BB:
https://bdsc.webapps.blackberry.com/C...
and navigate to this page:
https://bdsc.webapps.blackberry.com/h...
I follow instructions 1-3 there.
I notice the resulting files are named barsigner.*, not sigtool.* as PhoneGap's docs describe.

3. Finally, in PhoneGap Build, I enter the links and password to the signing barsigner.* files under my account, and make it the default.

I do a fresh build and get the error message. The build number is 73461.

Any ideas?

It looks like the issue is that you generated tablet keys (which the barsigner files represent), rather than smartphone keys (sigtool).

You can see the difference in the "Backing up your files" sections of RIMs docs - for smartphones:
https://bdsc.webapps.blackberry.com/h...

and tablets:

Hi Andrew,
I have the same problem with the signing key. Phonegap.build say the password for csk file is wrong, but i'm sure that it's 100%OK.
In your post you talk about the difference of signing tools and specially about the "sigtool".
But on the BB web site (url from your post) they don't speak about "sigtool".
My test app is #436081 if you want have a look.
Any idea?
Thanks

Yes, I was trying to build a tablet app. Should this have worked?

PhoneGap Build does not support building for Playbook, right now.

WHAT? Really? is there an estimated timeline on when Playbook support is expected? Thanks.

Not really. There are far more pressing issues (such as plugin support) that affect more of our users that will take priority over Playbook support - I think you're the first person to ask about since this thread was made 7 months ago.

Thanks!

Perhaps make this explicit on the BlackBerry signing page, so the next guy doesn't run into this. :-)
