Are you sure it's signed as an intermediary CA? cacert.org's website
suggests they will only sign leaf certificates.

Fortunately, your client certs need not be signed by the same CA as your
server cert, and it's probably somewhat pointless to have a client cert
(which will be used for your infrastructure alone) vetted by a third party.
