The metal to which you refer is called a corner bead and they are a blessing and a curse.
A blessing due to the fact that they form a corner stronger than drywall alone and must be used.
A curse due to the problem you are having. I will guess you are using the product known as "Lightwieght" or "Shrinkfree" spackling. Try the old style spackling as it always works for us. You could also purchase a quart of sheetrock mud and use that. Either should work, and try 2 coats instead of one.
I suggest wood trim. These corners will keep getting dinged up. You can touch up painted wood trim as often as you like; much easier than the above solution (although I respect and appreciate Mr. Timmerman's knowledge).
