Hi Paul

Weh ad exactly the same issue, tryed with removing newlines adding the whole 
cert chain and many other things. 
The guy was always refusing due to non printable chars or just failed. Then we 
tried over the API and also without success. We ended up with backing up our 
database and replacing the cert directly in there, we know that this is not the 
way it should be done, but after spending far too much time with gui and api we 
are happy that it works now.

I wrote a blog post about this (and still owe it to the project to add
docs) here:
http://www.chipchilders.com/blog/2013/1/2/undocumented-feature-using-certificate-chains-in-cloudstack.html

While your scenario isn't about using an intermediate CA, you are basically 
trying to add a new root CA to the know root list in the keystore.  The trick 
is to use the API (instead of the UI) to load the certs in the right order.

Give it a shot, and let me know if you have any questions.
