SSL error setting up scheduled archiving

I am setting up a scheduled archiving task and executing the following command-line:

php.exe “C:\inetpub\wwwroot\analytics\misc\cron\archive.php” – url=https://piwik.mycompany.com/analytics/

I have SSL installed, and when using the URL from IE there are no certificate errors, and viewing the certificate shows a proper cert chain all the way up to the root. However, I get the following output:

If I add the --accept-invalid-ssl-certificate parameter everything works fine, but I’d rather figure out why the SSL cert isn’t working for the command-line archive versus the browser-based archive.
