I had this problem with Apache, the reason was that the CA public key was not 
in the servers list of recognised Trusted Authorities.

In Apache there is a file with all of the trusted authority certificates in 
it. It is this file that the server uses to see if the certificate that the 
client is presenting has been signed by a recognised certificate authority. I 
imagine IIS has something similar.
