I fixed this one myself. I would take pictures, but it is at the shop. :-(
I got a clear plastic lid from a plastic container and cut three pieces into ~1"x3" pieces. I then removed the black plastic bracket that is used to for holding the post from the screen door. This is mounted in the door jam and can be removed by loosening the two screws securing it. I then placed these plastic strips under it and remounted to the door jam. Voila! My screen door now latches!
I used plastic because I did not want to use a material that would deteriorate or rust.
This took me about 10 minutes. Mark this one off of the list.
