I'm having trouble importing the root certificate for a certificate

pointed safari at their web site, downloaded the root cert in pem
format, and opened the cert. This runs the keychain admin program.
I've imported the cert into the system keychain and it looks as if
the cert is installed on my Mac. However, when I point safari to a
server that uses a cert from cacert.org, it still says the cert is
not from a trusted certificate authority.
Perhaps the Mac doesn't know the root cert is a root cert. But I
cannot figure out how to get it to know that.
PS: Cacert.org is a non-profit organization that acts as a
certificate authority. They issue certs via the web of trust model.
Once you're in the web of trust, you can generate server
certificates for free. You get into the web of trust by getting
other members of the web of trust to verify your identity. So once
you're in the web of trust, you can generate certificates in a
matter of minutes at no cost.
