There was an error submitting your podcast

Question

We have installed Podcast Producer 2 on a demo 10.6.2 server. We are able to use Podcast Capture directly on the server and podcasts are produced and able to be accessed through the Podcast library.
But when attempting to use Podcast Capture on a 10.5.8 client, after logging in and recording the podcast, when publishing we get the following message from Podcast Capture:
"There was an error submitting your podcast"
Some things I have noticed from the Server Logs:
Apache Error Log:
[Wed Feb 17 09:14:29 2010] [warn] RSA server certificate CommonName (CN) `demomaster.nobl.k12.in.us' does NOT match server name!?
[Wed Feb 17 09:14:30 2010] [warn] RSA server certificate CommonName (CN) `demomaster.nobl.k12.in.us' does NOT match server name!?
[Wed Feb 17 09:14:30 2010] [notice] Apache/2.2.13 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.2.13 OpenSSL/0.9.8l configured -- resuming normal operations
Our servername is demomaster.nobl.k12.in.us, but our local hostname is demomaster.local. Would this be a problem? changeip -checkhostname shows "success"
From the Application Log:
Processing SubmissionsController#createforfile (for 10.12.12.60 at 2010-02-17 09:16:36) [POST]

Completed in 148ms (View: 20, DB: 0) | *401 Unauthorized* [https://10.0.12.41/podcastproducer/submissions/createforfile]
The 401 Unauthorized also shows up even when we use podcast capture directly on the server. But the podcast still works then. So I'm not sure this is really an issue.
I have a feeling this is some sort of permissions issue, but I have tried changing the permissions on the /var/pcast and /var/pcast/server folder

And I have turned off digest authentication in cluster_preference.plist as well with no success.

Any other ideas? We really need to get this working. Thanks for any help.

I keep finding a little more information...
The plist file of the podcast that was to be uploaded looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">

How do I change my server so that it uses the FQDN "demomaster.nobl.k12.in.us" everywhere instead of sometimes using the local hostname demomaster.local.
It appears this is a DNS issue. We have set the hostname using scutil and running changeip -checkhostname shows
Current HostName = demomaster.nobl.k12.in.us
DNS HostName = demomaster.nobl.k12.in.us
The names match. There is nothing to change.
dirserv:success = "success"
nslookup on the ip shows that the reverse is working and pointing to the FQDN.
Computer Name in Server admin is set to: demomaster.nobl.k12.in.us
Local Hostname is set to: demomaster
but under the podcast Producer overview screen in Server Admin our Podcast Library and Capture URL both show http://demomaster.local:port instead of the FQDN.
How do we change this?
Thanks again.
