After several days of playing around with this issue, I noticed that the Organizer window had two entries for my App: one was "com.myname.appname" and the other was "com.myname.appname-SAMPLE-CODE-DISAMBIGUATOR-". For whatever reason, my new builds were being placed under the former. When I changed the name of my Bundle Identifier, in Xcode, to the later the new build was now under the later and everything worked as expected. I was able to Validate and submit to Apple for review. Not sure why this worked but will certainly remember the experience.
