You bought a godaddy cert.  ;)

Generally speaking though, if you use the GUI you should be able to 
import the bundle as the root CA, then load in the cert itself.

At least, that's worked for me when customers have been too stingy to 
pay the extra $30 for a YEARS worth of a better cert!  Whoops, did I 
just say that?  (It's just that the GD certs really stink...)
