Django Celery, ImportError: Import by filename is not supported

When I try to run my celery workers for my django application, I get an import error.

As far as I can tell it's an import in kombu.utils failing

What follows is a rather large stack-trace:

$ ./manage.py celery worker --loglevel=info

Ah found the answer, I was using CELERY_RESULT_BACKEND = someUrl rather than "redis" etc
