thanks.  one big thing that the author points out there:

<!> It is very important that under the Common Name field you specify
the full hostname of the machine in question, this has to be the
hostname you use in your Storage, Client, Director etc configuration
sections, if these do not match you will get a very confusing error
message.


this was where my initial confusion was.  it seems that after i
re-created the certificates using a CN of "home1.local" i've now got the
TLS communication between the Director and bconsole working.  apparently
when i get to configuring my remote clients i'll need to use
work.dyndns.org for the CN on both remote clients since that will be the
address that i'll be specifying in the bacula config files.  *fingers
crossed*
