[Spacewalk-list] Error uploading files from client to config channel on Spacewalk Server

[Choure, Siddharth]

To answer my own question and maybe help someone else in the future:
The problem was the CA (RHNS-CA-CERT) certificate was wrong in
/usr/share/rhn.

To troubleshoot this problem, run -
#rhncfg-client list

If everything is ok, this command should list all the files that the client
is subscribed to. If the certs are wrong, it should error out here with SSL
validation error.
