I am having problems using signtool with any version of NSS from 3.11
onwards and I wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything obvious
before I submit a bug report.

In the past I have used nss-3.9 to sign objects without any problems.
I am developing on a linux machine, running ubuntu.  Recently I
upgraded to gutsy (7.10) and found that the latest version of signtool
did not work.
Running a command like:
 signtool -d ~/.mozilla/firefox/idr1qmb5.default/ -l
Now results in the message:
 using certificate directory: /home/pbie003/.mozilla/firefox/
idr1qmb5.default/
 signtool: function failed: An I/O error occurred during security
authorization.

Suspecting some corrupted key files, I have tried removing my firefox
profile directory and reinstalling firefox (this didn't help).  The
above message occurs whether I use my firefox profile directory or a
generated certificate directory that I have created using certutil.

I have downloaded and built version 3.11.7 of nss tools from source on
several platforms and get the same error. (tried on Ubuntu 7.10, Max
OS 10.4 and 10.5).

I have also downloaded a selection of binaries and found that while
release 3.9 and 3.10 both work for me, 3.11, 3.11.5 and 3.11.7 do not.
