If I've already imported the CA certificate, it does prevent me from
importing my certificate.

Okay, I think I see the problem.  If I'm reading it right, gen-cert.cgi
creates a new "serial" file for every certificate issued.  OpenSSL
usually increments the value in that file when you issue a new
certificate, so preserving either the file or its contents between runs
should solve the problem.

I'm afraid I don't know enough about how the system is deployed to offer
suggestions about where to do that, though.
