Ok, that helped a lot.  I got this fixed now.  Because the manual tells
you to export the cert using a way that doesn't work on newer versions of
windows, I tried to improvise and my first attempt exported the wrong
cert.

The correct way is to go to mmc.exe and add the certificates snap-in. 
Then go to personal certificates store for the machine account and export
the one that has -CA at the end of it in the issued to column.

Now that the correct certificate was exported, replication succeeded.  The
docs should be updated though to reflect the proper way to export.
