The C trust flag means that it is a trusted CA to issue server certs. 
For client certs you need the T flag as well.

nssckbi doesn't really come into play here. I believe that even if your 
CA is signed by another CA that is in libnssckbi but you don't trust 
your CA to sign client certs, then any client certificates issued by 
your CA won't be trusted.
