QuickTime Player won't play movie bought from iTunes Store.

Finder's Quick Look says that QT Player can play it. QT Player says to first authorize through iTunes. iTunes says that it's already authorized.

I've seen the same problem in various places all over the net but it just started happening to me with 10.8.3. Never had a problem in 10.8.2 or earlier. Any ideas on how to fix?

iMac, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.3), iMac (Late 2009) 27", 3.06GHz

Video - QuickTime Media Formats

Video - QuickTime Player

Video Player - Divx

Video Player - VLC

It's a protected movie purchased from the iTunes store. Only iTunes and QT Player can play it. But QT Player refuses to.
