This would be because they're not counter-signed by some authoritative
source that they trust.  Anybody could create their own certificates, so
you can't "trust" self-signed certificates, directly.  

You'd need to have a trusted third party counter-sign them, one that
your clients already know about (verisign, etc.), or manually trust such
certificates on the clients that are using them (I've no hints on how to
do that).  The first option costs money, and the latter requires that
users know what they're doing (including, having the sense to check that
they're trusting YOUR certificate, and not a forgery).
