I thought I would try and get the new Signed Request logic added to my facebook canvas application, to make this "easy" on myself I went to the facebook PHP sdk over at GitHub and took a look at the unit tests.
My actual problem is that I cannot get the hash included in the request to match the hash I calculate using the application secret, and the data sent within the request.
How this is meant to work is described at Facebook's authentication page.

Answer thanks to Rasmus below, to assist anyone else here is the updated (cleaned up code):
