I know this is an old post but..

I just create C# validation code to determine if it isn't valid then return a validation message for an invalid string length.

    if (String.IsNullOrEmpty(ValidEIN))
    {
        Validation.Add("EIN",
        Validator.StringLength(0, 0, "Employee ID doesn't exist.")
        );
    }

This appears to be a problem in MVC3. http://forums.asp.net/t/1512140.aspx/1/10

Here are 2 possible workarounds.

1) Write a custom validation attribute with your own error message.

2) Do it client-side. Create a custom ClientDataTypeModelValidatorProvider, how to do this with MVC2 is explained here, I haven't tried it for MVC3. There is also some good info here.
