Your documentation may not have been in order. It could be almost anything.

Call and ask - "we" are just guessing.

I had the same problem. I went back and told my ISO to re-register my SEVIS status as FULLTIME F1 ACTIVE. After that, I went to the SSA one more time and my application was accepted. I hope this helps those of you who are experiencing the same problem.
