Not a valid MSX account.

I just realized my subject line is too LONG! Re-posting
with shorter line. Sorry all...I won't double-post again!
Hello.
I am studying the MS Press book for SQL Server 2000 MCP
DBA 2nd edition, chapter 13, setting up a master and
target server. I have a default and a "mynamedinstance"
of SQL Server 2000.
I have installed SP3. I have Win 2003 Enterprise in a
VMWare box. All labs but one have completed successfully
(albeit after much effort in some cases.W2k3?)
The servers and their agents use a Domain User account of
SQLService. I have registered and re-registered them,
making them use SQL/Windows authentication, and Windows
Only authentication.
When I walk through the MSX wizard, after my last screen,
I get the following error:
The account 'SELFPACEDSQL\SQLService' is not a valid MSX
account. Contact the MSX administrator to get MSX account
information.
I added SQLService to domain admin and local admin
groups. I created an MSX account, member of Domain
users/admins, local admins.
Do I need to nuke it all, and start over with no SP? Is
that what's doing it? :-(
I searched newsgroups, KBs, you name it, and nothing!
Thank you.

Yes, I did. But it refers to updating MSX and TSX servers
to SP3. Not the other way around.
In other words, I installed SQL server, upgraded to SP3,
THEN tried to create the MSX.

Thank you!
