I had the similar issue when calling a WCF REST service from .NET application where I need to attach the client certificate; All I had to do was provide access to the certificate in cert store[mmc console] to the "NETWORKSERVICE] off course my IIS Pool was default pool which indicates its using NETWORKService user account.

the mistake that I did was, I copied the cert from another store to Local Machine -> Personnel store where the certificate was protected with password. should import the certificate explicitly in required store.
