Wierdly the problem seems to be that the .pem file IS base64 encoded. The gnutls library can't decode it (according to http://bugs.donarmstrong.com/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=403072). If there is a way of unencoding the Base64 pem files I would be grateful to know -- I'll play with uudeview later this morning and report back.
