Small edit:

<match url="(.*)" />

change to:
<match url="(.*?)/?robots\.txt$" />

Anyone want to double check my logic here? I think I've figured this one out.

Use a different robots file for https (assuming that you are using IIS and your host has url rewrite available to you).

Steps are:
1) Create 2 robots files. 
Robots.txt contains:
User-agent: *
Disallow: 

Robots_https.txt contains:
User-agent: *
Disallow: /

2) Add a rewrite rule to your web.config file.
<rewrite>
<rules>
<rule name="HTTPSpecificRobots" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="(.*)" />
<conditions>
<add input="{HTTPS}" pattern="on" ignoreCase="true" />
</conditions>
<action type="Rewrite" url="robots_https.txt" />
</rule>
</rules>
</rewrite>

3) Test by going to:
http://www.yoursite.com/robots.txt
and
https://www.yoursite.com/robots.txt

This will at least help to prevent this from happening. I'm not sure that it will fix the problem if it already exists.

Probabaly the only way to fix this is to use absolute URL's in your navigation. Only thing you have to watch out for is at checkout you dont want to link to non-ssl pages or you will get the security warnings.

I was just looking at the 301 redirect for the homepage which is this:

<%
Response.Status="301 Moved Permanently"
Response.AddHeader "Location", "/store/pc/home.asp"
%>

Do you think the problem could have arisen because the full path to the home page is not there?

Ok, looks like there is one there. 

<link rel="canonical" href="http://www.jewelryfindings-online.com/store/pc/home.asp" />

It must have been there since the site first went up...based on that I would say your solution
is not working

It looks like your site already has the canonical on your homepage.

Ok thanks for the advice, this would be placed in the header section of the product cart homepage?

Currently that is something like ... http://www.mystore.com/store/pc/home.asp

You can put a canonical tag on the homepage with http. That should do the trick.
<link rel="canonical" href="http://www.abc.com/" >

I don't know enough about this but in the google webmaster forum I found a similar post and this is the answer someone gave:

"For the record, in Java, it seems that response.sendRedirect automatically sets status to 302 (overriding manual set 301).

Ex:
                        
response.setStatus(HttpServletResponse.SC_MOVED_PERMANENTLY);
                        response.setHeader("Location", app.getUrlSecure(true) + requesthistory.getLocalUrl());
                        response.sendRedirect(app.getUrlSecure(true) + requesthistory.getLocalUrl());
                        return;

So, removing the last two lines might have fixed the problem."



Would this have anything to do with the issue? I am using a 301 redirect on the homepage
