jarsigner

I recently uploaded my application to the android market however it's refusing to run when downloaded due to the error

Package file was not signed correctly

I first published the packet using eclipse, right click export, creating a keystore then publishing, however it refuses to work.

I then downloaded the keytool and jarsigner and used them to sign an upgrade which I posted instead. However this gives the same error.

I have no idea what I've done wrong, and since I cannot delete the application I cannot try and start again can anyone help me?

Thanks
