Spouse Claimed as a dependent is marked correctly, but it is still getting Rejected. Reject Code IND-518-02

I have efiled the return with Spouse "Claimed as a Dependent" and I get rejected with this message -
"If Form 1040, 'SpouseClaimAsDependentInd' is not checked, then the Spouse SSN must not be the same as a Dependent SSN on another return filed for the same tax year."
I have checked the box "Claimed as a Dependent"!
What am I doing wrong??

From what I've been reading this year, they have been rejecting this situation and it needs to be filed by mail.
