Answer 1

It is also possible that the wrong credentials are being used. To verify:

import boto
s3 = boto.connect_s3('', '')
bucket = s3.get_bucket('') # does this work?
s3 = boto.connect_s3()
s3.aws_access_key_id  # is the same key being used by default?

If not, take a look at ~/.boto, ~/.aws/config and ~/.aws/credentials.
