Thankyou very much to Mr. Mike Adams for his valuable tips. It turned out that there was an extra line breaker somewhere in the middle of the cert that was generated by thawte. Had to delete the blank line and it worked just fine.
Mike.

After I got the confirmation email from Thwate saying that my certifciate has been generated, I went to the email and go the large base64 encoded chunks. I got the second chunk which the PKCS stuffs.
