Did you not get an error about "SSL err during Load CA cert" immediately 
before this? If you did, what does it say?

Could you try "openssl -in /path/to/serverCA.pem -noout -text" and check 
that it manages to read and parse the certificate properly? Check that 
you get "Signature Algorithm: sha1WithRSAEncryption" and a bunch of hex 
codes after that (about 10-12 lines worth).

No, I haven't seen this before.
