I believe I did select that path when importing the cert, I recall the two 
browser windows.

The CA cert is in filename 01621954.0  and the signing policy is 
01621954_signing_policy (I've checked this on our Globus system)

As I mentioned, the signing policy was absent from 
../AccessGrid/trustedCACerts, so I copied it over again. 
On starting up the venue client, I got the same problem as before.
When I looked at the files in the trustedCACerts dir,  I find that the 
01621954_signing_policy file has disappeared, and the CA cert filename has 
now lost it's leading zero to become 1621954.0

I've tried copying back new versions of the cert & signing policy starting 
with the leading zero, and re-running the client, and the same happens.
I've tried having two copies of each of the cert & signing policy, one 
pair with the leading zero, and one without - and the same happens, I get 
the error about invalid passphrase, and all I'm left with in the 
trustedCACerts dir is the file which is now called 1621954.0  and the 
normal two AG CA certs & their signing policies.

All a bit mysterious!!
Got to go now but if I get time later I'll try deleting & reimporting the 
CA cert etc.
THanks for your help
