Issues with programming Diecimila

I am having some issues programming one of the sample sketches on the board. I think I may have screwed something up while trying to setup AVRStudio and the USBICE mkII.
When running the Arduino 0017 software, I load the Blink sample code. It verifies fine but when I try to program the board I get the following errror:

avrdude: stk500_getsync(): not in sync: resp=0x00
avrdude: stk500_disable(): protocol error, expect=0x14, resp=0x51

I have my boad connected to my pc through USB, but I have a USB to Serial converter on the board. I have COM5 selected and I have the correct board selected. There should be a bootloader on the board.
Any help would be appreciated.

Edit: I just grabbed a second board and hooked it up and everything programmed fine. So, I think I may have screwed something up when trying to use the JTAGICE mkII. I think it has something to do with the debug wire or spi setting.
I have read a bunch of the posts on here that suggest it may be a com port issue or a bootloader issue. The com port settings are fine becasue I was able to upload to another board.
The board in question worked when I first connected it to my JTAGICE mkII because it was able to read the device signature.
I don't think I did anything to blow out the bootloader, when I try to read the device signature now, I get an error with the communication method and it tells me its using ISP. So, everything should be good.

Somebody? A little hint?

So it's the boot loader. Don't know how you did it but that's what is wrong.

Thank you for the reply.
If it was a bootloader problem, shouldn't I still be able to read the device signature or hardware registers? I can't see any registers or do any accesses with the JTAGICE mkII.
