I think you've just got a problem with the format of the key/cert files 
you're trying to use.

But your second question is a definite YES.  Use your CA-signed cert for 
browser traffic only, and use the self-signed ones that were generated 
when you installed Shib for your credential resolver, metadata, and SOAP 
back channel (usually port 8443) traffic.
