StrongName (sn.exe) works to generate, but fails to return public key!

Well, I've used sn.exe to generate a key pair for a web part I just built,
and it ran successfully. However, when I run sn -T <filename> to sn -Tp
<filename> to get the public key value for the web.config's SafeControl
clause, I get this error:

"<filename> does not represent a strongly named assembly."

OK, so what does this mean? I obviously used sn.exe to generate a strong
name, but it's not strong enough?!?!

Help! :)

After you generated the .snk file, what did you do with it? Did you
make sure it was set properly in the assemblyinfo.vb file before
building the project?
