[strongSwan] Raspberry Pi: authentication of ... (myself) failed

I'm attempting to use a Raspberry Pi as a StrongSwan peer with certificates
for authentication.  I have a certificate for the Pi signed by my own ca
cert.  When I try to bring the connection up, it seems it can't
authenticate itself:

authentication of 'C=US, ST=OR, L=Portland, O=Tyfone, OU=Shasta, CN=
client.tyfone.com, E=contact at tyfone.com' (myself) failed
The private key and ca cert are present in /etc/ipsec.d/private and cacerts
respectively.  Using the pki tool, I can verify that the cert is current
and valid per the ca cert, and I can export the public keys from the
private key and the cert and see that they match.

*Here is my ipsec.conf on the Pi*

config setup
        charondebug="ike 4, knl 4"

conn %default
        ikelifetime=60m
        keylife=20m
        rekeymargin=3m
        keyingtries=1
        keyexchange=ikev1

conn work
        left=%defaultroute      #external IP address
        leftsourceip=%config    #external IP address
        leftid="C=US, ST=OR, L=Portland, O=Tyfone, OU=Shasta, CN=
client.tyfone.com, E=contact at tyfone.com"
        leftcert=clientCert.pem
        leftfirewall=yes        #automatically add firewall rules
        auto=add
        right=10.0.1.47         #strongSwan server external IP
        rightsubnet=0.0.0.0/0     #route all traffic to the strongSwan
server
        rightid=@vpn.tyfone.com     #unique id of server
        rightcert=serverCert.der

include /var/lib/strongswan/ipsec.conf.inc



*Here is what is shown for the client cert when I use  ipsec listcerts*

Any help is appreciated.  Thanks in advance!
