Unfortunately there isn't a lot more information. One thing it checks is the email address that you have when you set up paypal as a payment method, but since it was working before you went to https, unless you changed it, that's probably not it.

Any way to set up something like a .htaccess to allow access to just the payment_gateway.php via http? I'm not a server admin person so I don't know how hard that would be.

Edit: oh, actually, now that I think about it a little more, if you only have a few of those it could just be someone other than paypal accessing that script (I think I did it myself at least a couple of times). So maybe you still need to be looking at whether or not paypal is connecting to your server.
