I had the same problem.

I think it's related to when Apple consolidated all the Apple ID accounts. I
had  one Apple ID for the Apple Store, another for my DotMac account, each
with a different credit card to authorize them, and each with a different
email address.

When Apple consolidated the accounts, I think something got screwed up, and
I can't log on to the music store using my "Apple ID" that is supposed to
work everywhere.

So, what I did is create a NEW account, which worked fine. I'm sure it's not
what Apple intended for me to do, but it works.
