Try and use the STK500 in HVPP mode to check the fuses,
maybe the clock gets messed up.

I had 5 M168's that were bricked my JTAGICE MKII was useless... 
Got a AVR Dragon and a Dragon Rider then using HVPP mode found that 
the SPIEN fuse was reset and the clocks were messed up. 
I reprogrammed them all and recovered the price of the Dragon Rider :)

Unfortunately, this is looking like yet another "delicate" debugging
platform from Atmel.

EXTREMELY dissapointing.
