Does the rotor arm point at the mark on the dizzy body when you have all of the other marks set?

No not possible, if the dizzy is in wrong the arm will not be in line with scribe mark, and you say all marks lined up.

just take the cap off and check where the arm is pointing.

IF everything is lined up then i'd say you have a sensor problem, probably CPS.

He has Tim,. he said it here:

have checked the timing and all the marks are spot on
So in that case no. But im willing to bet 10p that you havent actually checked ALL the marks and you only actually checked the crank and cam pulley marks?
