Mac App Store is having problems recognizing my Apple ID. The App store shows my list of purchases, some say install next to them, some of the apps say update next to them in the 'Purchases' list but no updates appear in the updates section. If I try to click on the update button in the 'Purchases' list I get an error.

You have updates available for other accounts

I only have one account, its the same one I use for iTunes. I have read all the other posts on this, I have tried other peoples suggestions for fixes for this. I tried resetting Spotlight, rm the Appstore plist etc, but I still get this error and this is a brand new install of 10.6.6.

Console is giving me the error that multibyte iD's are unsupported. I've been using the same ID since 1990 so I don't know what the problem is.

Dual 3.0GHZ Octo Pro, Mac OS X (10.5.7), 10GB RAM, Nvidia 8800GT
