My chess program (Fritz) also fails to see the mate very shortly.

What is the continuation of 2.Rc8+ ?

Your wrong the king would play Kf8

After 3. Rc7+, why can't black play 3. ... Kf8 instead of 3. ... Kg8

Qh8 Rg8 Qf6 Ke8 Qe7. As quick and simple as that. But nearly everything wins. 

2. Qe6 should be another option for example.
