It appears you're using the same certificate for the server cert and the trusted CA. This might only work if the client was also using this same cert and key to authenticate. The client and server certificates in an SSL handshake do not have to be (and rarely are) issued from the same CAs, but the trusted CA file MUST match the issuer of the client's cert.
