That doesn't sound solved. One thing I like to do when troubleshooting is to test with an empty Service Chain. That way you will know if the Service (or the configuration of it) is part of the problem. If it still fails then it must be something with SSL decryption. In the Security Policy set the SSL Forward Proxy Action to Bypass. If it works then you know the issue is with some aspect of the SSL decryption configuration.

Hope this leads you down the right path.
