Wierdly the problem seems to be that the .pem file IS base64 encoded.
The gnutls library can't decode it (according to
http://bugs.donarmstrong.com/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=403072).
If there is a way of unencoding the Base64 pem files I would be grateful
to know -- I'll play with uudeview later this morning and report back.
