Metadata signature accepted by xmlsectool, not by SP

I'm trying to sign a set of metadata, and load it into an SP. It works if I don't check signatures, but obviously that's
a bad idea.
When I run shibd in test mode, I get errors about being unable to verify the signature:
# shibd -t

signature check: Unable to verify signature with supplied key(s).

overall configuration is loadable, check console for non-fatal problems
But xmlsectool is fine.
$ ./xmlsectool-1.2.0/xmlsectool.sh --verifySignature --inFile /var/www/html/metadata/grnoc.xml --certificate
/var/www/html/metadata/grnoc.crt
INFO XmlSecTool - Reading XML document from file '/var/www/html/metadata/grnoc.xml'
INFO XmlSecTool - XML document parsed and is well-formed.
INFO XmlSecTool - XML document signature verified.
I nave validation configured on the MetadataProvider
<MetadataProvider type="XML"
uri="http://idp-test.grnoc.iu.edu/metadata/grnoc.xml"
backingFilePath="/etc/shibboleth/grnoc.xml"
reloadInterval="7200"
validate="true">
<SignatureMetadataFilter certificate="/etc/shibboleth/grnoc.crt" />
<MetadataFilter type="RequireValidUntil" maxValidityInterval="2419200" />
</MetadataProvider>
and I know the cert (http://idp-test.grnoc.iu.edu/metadata/grnoc.crt) matches the signing key.
What am I doing wrong signing this? I'm wanting to use a short script to assemble metadata from various SPs and sign
them using https://github.com/mehcode/python-xmlsec/, but I've also tried signing with xmlsectool and get the same
results. The SP I'm using to try to validate it is version 2.5.6 on CentOS 6.
