I'm trying to setup some similar tests for myself, but, in the mean time, here 
are some general guidelines.

1. Do you have a host certificate for all involved machines, and have them 
installed properly?

2. Do you have a user certificate and a valid proxy for it?

3. Do you have the root certificate of the signing authority that signed the 
above host and user certificates installed in your "certificates" directory 
(usually /etc/grid-security/certificates)?

There's a lot of voodoo to make this all work.
