Well, I wanted to update this post with what I did to resolve the problem. I never got an answer regarding the print string form csr, but out of desparation I went to another SSL provider and purchsed their certificate (GeoTrust), and the phones are syncing now. It's not a resolution to the original problem, but it is a resolution to the big picture of fixing our issue. I still welcome any feedback anyone has on that whole print string csr thing. GoDaddy is telling people to do this, but not telling them how. I don't think this is good advice given that there is no documentation on how to make this type of thing work.
