I'm fast losing faith in Eucalyptus. Lots of questions here including mine going unanswered.

Is Eucalyptus a DEAD project?

Anyway, trying to get s3cmd to work with walrus. Config file is:

[default]
access_key = xxx
acl_public = False
bucket_location = US
debug_syncmatch = False
default_mime_type = binary/octet-stream
delete_removed = False
dry_run = False
encrypt = False
force = False
gpg_command = /usr/bin/gpg
gpg_decrypt = %(gpg_command)s -d --verbose --no-use-agent --batch --yes --passphrase-fd %(passphrase_fd)s -o %(output_file)s %(input_file)s
gpg_encrypt = %(gpg_command)s -c --verbose --no-use-agent --batch --yes --passphrase-fd %(passphrase_fd)s -o %(output_file)s %(input_file)s
gpg_passphrase =
guess_mime_type = False
host_base = 172.16.99.136:8773
host_bucket = 172.16.99.136:8773
service_path = /services/Walrus
human_readable_sizes = False
preserve_attrs = True
proxy_host =
proxy_port = 0
recv_chunk = 4096
secret_key = xxx
send_chunk = 4096
use_https = False
verbosity = WARNING

Running this:
s3cmd -c s3cfg.walrus mb s3://testbucket

yields this:
