How are you verifying the signature? What is the exact error message?

That's exactly what your problem is showing that we do -- if you indeed
are being MITM:ed, this is exactly the symptoms you'd see.

Also, please run:

$ sha256sum tails-i386-1.0.iso.sig
fa896b520738c8c5f595ca7eac2e60c20a5126def4ac8faf4234d84dffa2363b
*tails-i386-1.0.iso.sig

Please verify that your copy of the .sig has the same SHA-256 hash as
above.

And:

$ gpg --fingerprint --list-key "Tails developers (signing key)"
pub   4096R/1202821CBE2CD9C1 2010-10-07 [expires: 2015-02-05]
      Key fingerprint = 0D24 B36A A9A2 A651 7878  7645 1202 821C BE2C D9C1
uid                          Tails developers (signing key) <tails@???>
uid                          T(A)ILS developers (signing key)
<amnesia@???>


Please verify that the public part of Tails' signing key you have has
the same fingerprint as above. We've recently heard that (poorly) forged
keys are floating around on the key servers, see:
