Hold on for a second i jumped the gun! Sorry. So right now your only problem is that you can't install the stock ota.zip right?

Download that again, rename it update unless you get a warning about changing file extensions, in which case you should name it update.zip. Transfer it to the root of your SD card, attempt to install it. If you still get an error there's something funny going on. I'm suggesting downloading that one again because more often than not a corrupted download is the cause of errors. Make absolutely sure you have it named update.zip. A test you can use is to install Astro from the market and navigate to the root of the SD card. If you see it listed as anything but update you need to correct it.
Good luck!

Thanks! It worked! Now just for clarification and confirmation how do I know I'm unrooted?

Easiest method I know of is to either test one of the root-only apps to see if they work or, for final and ultimate verification, open a terminal emulator and type su -- if you get a $ prompt you're not rooted and if you get a # prompt you're still rooted.
Installing that update breaks root, however, so I wouldn't worry. Still, if you have to be absolutely sure, give that a try. Glad you got it working!
