Still fighting Google... I'm convinced my problem is on the Google side. My client has a user number with Google that's tied to AdSense. Because I'm the one who looks after his site, I created the Analytics account with my user number. Apparently, this makes the Google unhappy.

The next thing is for me to try is to delete my profile for his site and use his. I don't know if anyone else has experienced a similar situation; but, I'll post back if it works.
