Manual Upload does not match repository policy

While attempting to manually upload artifacts for a test of the ability to do so, I recived an error message "The version 1.1.0.80-SNAPSHOT does not match the repository policy. I included all artifacts: jar, source, javadoc, assembly and their associated signature files. Could someone offer me some insight into what policies might exist to prevent this upload?

Some background: We normally use the sbt-sonatype plugin to release our open source project jsvcgen, but with solidfire-sdk-java, we have only open sourced it with this release. We have a business requirement that all uploads are to be fingerprinted and uploaded to our internal artifactory repo first. Then we test with that artifact. Once approved, the same artifact is released to the public through several channels, including sonatype. Hence why we want the manual upload process when we are ready to release.
