Same script and credentials fails on one machine, works on another

[wallyfoo]

Ok, two machines.  One running OS X 10.3.9, the other running Red Hat Linux 7 (yes, it's that old).

I compiled Ruby 1.8.6 from source on both machines with no errors.

I opted to use the shell script method for execution.  Here is the script I'm using on both machines:

Code:

#!/bin/bash

export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=xxxxxxxxxxx
export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=xxxxxxxxxxx

cd /usr/local/s3sync

ruby s3cmd.rb -v listbuckets

On the OS X Machine, this executes flawlessly.  On the Linux box, the exact same script returns:

Code:

list all buckets {}
S3 command failed:
list_all_my_buckets
With result 403 Forbidden

3sync.rb works on OS X and fails similarly on the Linux box.

Any ideas would be most appreciated.

is your clock right?  there have been a lot of issues over at s3 caused by inaccurate clocks.

I appears to be.  Only a few minutes off of my local time, anyway.  Would this kind of tiny variance cause an issue?

I don't recall the exact limit, but it is small, maybe 2 minutes or less.  try using ntp to keep your clocks accurate.
