That should be:

roeland.eu.org.  IN  RP  roeland\.graat.bigfoot.com roeland.eu.org

Your email address is supposed to be first, and the name of the TXT record
second.

You need the '\' in the email address to prevent the first '.' from being
treated as a substitute for '@'.  Otherwise, it means your email address is
roeland at graat.bigfoot.com.

I think Granite Canyon expects this to contain your full name.  Check the
documentation on their web site for details.

Everything else looks fine to me.  I don't see any errors when I query
ns1.granitecanyon.com.  ns2.granitecanyon.com seems to be down, so I don't
know if the domain got transferred to it.
