I am having the same issue with the Avamar proxy virtual appliance. If I leave the default EMC certificate, VM backups work correctly. I have tried setting the certificate to the vCenter CRT and PEM files, same error as above.
I have tickets open with EMC and VMware on this issue but no resolution yet. I am curious if you were able to get this working?
No resolution yet. Working with VMware and EMC still. We have strict policies on security due to being in the healthcare industry, so getting our own SSL to work is mandatory. I will post a resolution when we get there!

Disable certification verification in avamar for vcenter & perform below steps:
Unencrypted Backups & Replication Fail in Avamar 7.1 Due to Increased Firewall Restrictions
Add a gsan-port file to allow port 27000 usage
For any new installation of 7.1 GA the gsan-port file will be missing from -"/usr/local/avamar/lib/admin/security/gsan-port"
Login to the Avamar utiltiy node as root and load the dpnid keys per KB 95614.
Verify this file is absent:
ls -l /usr/local/avamar/lib/admin/security/
Create the gsan-port file using vi (or equivalent).
vi /usr/local/avamar/lib/admin/security/gsan-port
On the first line insert:
GSAN_PLAIN_TEXT='27000,'
Save the close the file.
If on a multi-node grid copy the file to the data nodes. If a Single Node skip to Step 6.
mapall --user=root copy /usr/local/avamar/lib/admin/security/gsan-port
Once copied move the file to the correct directory.
mapall --user=root mv gsan-port /usr/local/avamar/lib/admin/security/
Restart the avfirewall services.
mapall --noerror --all+ --user=root 'service avfirewall restart'
Confirm no further issues exist by running telnet from utility node to one of the Avamar Data Nodes.
Note: Alternatively, running an unencrypted client backup to confirm it is successful.
telnet 27000
