What commands are you running to download and import the key? What
does the file contain when you download it? Does it match what you see
if you open that URL in a web browser?

I tried the how-to at the following link
http://www.google.com/linuxrepositories/apt.html

But it didn't work as expected; it seems that the command
sudo wget -q -O - https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub
| apt-key add -
is not actually getting the key through (I don't know why, probably
because of the chained commands), so I split the commands.

sudo wget https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub
sudo apt-key add linux_signing_key.pub

and got it.

The rest of the how-to worked perfectly.

> sudo wget -q -O -https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub
> | apt-key add -

The problem here is trying to run 'sudo' with the pipe; the second
command is not actually running as root, which 'apt-key add' requires.
You could also have done:
| sudo apt-key add -
