Glad it worked out. Also, the Windows config was backwards compatible with the iPhones OS 3.x, but you may want to confirm this also on your end.

Thanks, that totally did it! ...interesting how the PC version of a piece of Apple software works better than the Mac version. Of note I had tried the Mac 3.0 IPCU version, so the problem wasn't address in that upgrade. I haven't confirmed it, but my guess is that might be some sort of DER vs. PEM encoding issue.
