I had this problem and i found that the bucket can only have lowercase characters. Trying to access a bucket named "BUCKET1" via the https://BUCKET1.s3.amazonaws.com or https://bucket1.s3.amazonaws.com will both fail, but if the bucket is called "bucket1", https://bucket1.s3.amazonaws.com will success.

So it is not enough to lowercase the name for you the s3fs command line, you MUST also create the bucket in lowercase.
