Okay, just to be clear:

  1. Standard VIP
  2. HTTP profile
  3. Client SSL profile with cert and key exported from the server
  4. Server SSL profile (the generic serverssl profile)

  5. A pool

  6. And it works without the SSL profiles and HTTP profile, correct?

Does the back end server require a client cert?

The first thing I'd do is take a look at the LTM log for any SSL-related errors. YOu may also want to try the serverssl-insecure-compatible profile and see if that makes a difference. If that doesn't work, you'll probably want to try an SSLDUMP capture on either side of the proxy:

ssldump -k [path to private key] -AdNn -i 0.0 port 443 [and additional filters]

Any SSL errors should show up in these captures.
