Your domain doesn't seem to be installed on GC's servers.  Did you get the
confirmation mail and forward it back to them like you're supposed to?

If you could specify an A record, you wouldn't be using dyndns.org, would
you?  What you posted looks correct.  Assuming you forwarded the
confirmation mail back properly, you seem to be suffering from the same
problem as many Granite Canyon users: their servers have been messed up all
week.  Haven't you noticed all the messages about this in this newsgroup
and comp.protocols.tcp-ip.domains?
