Great!  That was it!

How I fixed it was with this command:

"lifetime certificate 300" in the CA config section.

I reenrolled the two client routers (R5 & R6) and noted their
certificates were ok:

R6#show crypto ca certificate IOS_CA
Certificate
  Status: Available
  Certificate Serial Number: 0x7
  Certificate Usage: General Purpose
  Issuer:
    cn=IOS_CA
  Subject:
    Name: R6
    Serial Number: FHK0953F17K
    hostname=R6+serialNumber=FHK0953F17K
    cn=R6.cisco.com
    ou=CCIE
    c=PL
  CRL Distribution Points:
    http://8.9.50.2/cgi-bin/pkiclient.exe?operation=GetCRL
  Validity Date:
    start date: 14:38:50 EUST Sep 25 2012
    end   date: 14:38:50 EUST Jul 22 2013
  Associated Trustpoints: IOS_CA

Tried to ping between the two vlans and the VPN came up and everything
was all good.  This was after I facepalmed myself with the 2015 date
:)  That was a real case of OYFE for me there.

Once again, thanks everyone for their assistance.

Cheers
