Here's one page I've managed to get authors set up on properly, no errors:
www.google.com/webmasters/tools/richsnippets?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.scirra.com%2Fblog%2F42%2Fwelcome-to-the-new-website&view=
And here is one on another that throws an error with a different author:
www.google.com/webmasters/tools/richsnippets?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.scirra.com%2Fblog%2F46%2Fmore-on-html5-audio-codecs-and-politics&view=

Error: Google Profile does not link to article site


As far as I can tell, they are both identical in the way they are set up! I am really struggling to see the differences here. Can anyone tell me what's going on? Ashley's Google profile has a link set up to his profile page and we did check the box saying "This is about me".

Pull up the two Google profiles in consecutive tabs. Switch to the "About" tab in both. See how yours has that "Other profiles" section at right, with a link back to scirra.com? Ashley's doesn't.

The verification process looks at the Google profile page for a backlink to the claiming site. See here, second bullet under "Associate your content with your Google Profile".
