Frank:

I think the problem is that VeriSign does not
issue certificates for DSA public keys.
I have not looked at your CSR, but i assume
you are using JDK's default provider, which
only generates DSA keypairs.

If you want to generate an RSA keypair and get
it certified by VeriSign,
you need to install an RSA provider, and instruct
keytool to generate an RSA keypair (using
the "-keyalg rsa" option).
I will point you to an RSA provider that will work.
