Just to follow up with the answer to this problem:

The problem was the CNAME record entry had been set to an IP address and not
ghs.google.com.

Google had changed the IP address of the server so that traffic was not being
redirected to the right place.

This is a prime example of why we use domain names and not IP addresses (other
than the fact that IP addresses are a pain to remember compared to 'names'

The OP has a problem with his domain registrar which prevented him from setting
up the correct CNAME entry so he had no choice of using an IP address. In this
instance, he has had to put in the new IP address and will have to do this once
again when or if Google change the IP address again.

If you have a domain registrar that doesn't give you full access to your 'Zone
File', then it probably means it is time to find a new Domain Registrar.

So to sum up, make sure you use the correct CNAME entry and not an IP address or
it may come back to haunt you at some random point in the future...
