Signing a message

I'm trying to sign a message.  I'm signing it via Armory and get the following output:

-----BEGIN-SIGNATURE-BLOCK-------------------------------------
Address:    1xWZ7j1LEEQ3PPtp3i9ayLghJmNxFWvWk
Message:    "2013-Aug-27 06:27pm username: minerr rand: 108db"
            "b0472965645 purpose: testing sig"
PublicKey:  041ba4335fa1ab3e80dc9211fd9c0d7add65f319bd3c4a4478

            3a8f9fd2561d9bba410a8366320662

            ffa48f63b08a1721e66d4be82ecf
-----END-SIGNATURE-BLOCK---------------------------------------



The crazy thing about this is that in Armory this message gets validated, BUT in bitcoin-qt,  bitcoind, blockchain.info it's not valid.  Try it for yourself. 

This is driving me crazy.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Some more useful info:

blockchain.info, when validating outputs the following error "Error Verifying MessageSignature has the wrong length"

Do I have to broadcast this signed messsage or something?  What am I missing?
