I've found myself and others I sup****t in similar situations, where,
apparently, the system had the old password cached somehow, and even
though we had changed the password, sniffing the connection to the
router determined the system still used the old one. Deleting the
offending keychain entries and logging out and back in cleared the
problem in each instance. Your situation sounded similar, so I thought I
would mention it, just in case - glad it worked for you.
