Are you running the server as root? If not, it can't use the host cert,
and you'll see the error you're getting.
You'll also need to recreate the host cert with the the full hostname.

Here's what's in the hostcert_request.pem
Certificate Subject:

BTW, I can't run the grid-cert-request as root. Could that be causing
the confusion?

Hi,
Did you give the proper DNS name (or IP address) of the server when you
generated its host key (Common Name)? If you thought it was asking or
your name instead of the server's name, then this will happen.

This one has me really confused. I somehow ended up with my name as
the authenticated hostname and I can't figure out how. Looking at the
pem files, all appears well but something is obviously amiss.
The expected name for the remote host
([email protected]
<mailto:[email protected]>) does not match the
authenticated name of the remote host (Hoot Thompson)

Right, what Martin suggested should work. That package that you
installed on the second machine is simply the CA certificates that
enable the other machines to trust that CA and the certificates it
signs. The CA itself only lives on a single machine.
