757 freighter cancellation. Why?

Bluebird (Icelandic cargo operator, owned now by Icelandair) has scrapped itīs B-757 cargo operations, due to massive technical problems in conversion from pax to cargo config. They have been waiting for months now for their 757 to roll out from conversion in the US, but the plane has been pestered with certification problems (mainly around the entrance door thatīs been moved forward).
Arenīt there any operating 757īs in the cargo business, i.e. planes that have been converted?
