FTPS - BadCertificate issue

Question

Hi All -
We are trying to build a job using FTPS to an outside vendor.  We have loaded the digital certificate from them and Windows 2008 reports "certificate is ok".  But when we run the job we get the following error message:
FTP JOB Failed : The server has sent an error notification: BadCertificate
The support folks at the vendor don't see us try to connect before we get the error message.
We've verified that both port 21 and 22 are open between the vendor and our Agent using Telnet.  We've verified we are using the correct runtime user and password.
Does anyone have other ideas we should try for troubleshooting?

Tidal Support sent our issue to the developers.  There seems to be a problem with Tidal using a Client Authorization Certificate which is needed for Wells Fargo.
In the meantime, I found MoveIT Freely which is a command-line ftps tool.  This tool allows you to explicitly list the cert you want passed to the ftp server.  I am calling it via a batch file from Tidal and it is working.  If there aren't any files to transfer, the job completes abnormally.  There were some hiccups and the 'Quote PBSZ 0' and 'PROT P' commands were needed to fix it.  (also make sure you use dir instead of ls -l)
If anyone else is contemplating using Tidal to send files to WellsFargo, here are the commands I used.
batch file:
c:\local_path\ftps.exe -e:on ftpserver -pfxfile:c:\localpath\certificate_name -pfxpw:certificate_password -s:c:\local_path\script.txt >c:\local_path\results.txt
script:
ftp_username
ftp_password
Quote PBSZ 0
PROT P
Passive
normal ftp commands
quit
