The Web-server sends a list of trusted CA's to the client so that
it can determine whether any of it's certificates are appropriate.
I assume that your web-server isn't set up to trust your self-signed
CA.
If you're trying to set-up IIS 5 (under Win2K) to trust your certificate
have a look at my soon to be posted conclusion to the "Client Auth from IE"
discusssion that I instigated last week.
