S3Sync.net

I am having problems getting s3sync to work with SSL.  It works fine without SSL.  When I use SSL, I get the following error:

user@server:/opt/s3sync$ ruby s3sync.rb --ssl -v -n -d /home/user/localuploadfolder/ mybucket:remotefolder

I took out specific identifying info.  Here is packet in the tcpdump where the problem occurs.  I can email the text file if you need to see the entire output of tcpdump.

9   0.153231   192.168.1.102   72.21.206.171   TLSv1   Alert (Level: Fatal, Description: Unknown CA)

I have tried my AWS X509 certificate, the README certificate, the certificates from here:  http://mirbsd.mirsolutions.de/cvs.cgi/src/etc/ssl.certs.shar and other certificates installed on my machine.  All produce the same result.  I have set the environment variable to the appropriate directory (which in my case is /opt/s3sync/certs) as well as tried pointing to a specific certificate.  I set the variable in s3sconfig.yml as well as trying it through a shell script (export SSL_CERT_DIR=/opt/s3sync/certs and export SSL_CERT_FILE=/opt/s3sync/certs/ . . .).

I have Ruby 1.8.6 installed and have the libopenssl-ruby1.8 libraries installed.  I am running Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon x64.

Please help.  I really want to use s3sync and have spent many hours trying to figure this out on my own (well and with help from Google), but to no avail.  I have searched these forums, the Ubuntu forums and various SSL forums, but have not found an answer (or at least one that I can understand).

Thank you in advance for any help you may be able to provide.

There is not really anything in your question I can use to diagnose what is going on.  Could be anything.   Path problem? File format problem? Permission to file?

I don't think its a file permission problem because I tried running it as root and had the same error.  Is there anything else I can tell about my setup that would give clues?
