Problems Creating New Initiative with Rally JAVA Rest API 2.0

I am using the following code snippet to try to create an Initiative in Rally (the values I am using for _ref I obtained while debugging).

public void createInitiative() {
    CreateRequest request = null;
    CreateResponse response = null;

    JsonObject jo = new JsonObject();

    String wsRef = "/workspace/11785043049";
    String prjRef = "/project/11785043139";

    jo.addProperty("Workspace",  wsRef);
    jo.addProperty("Project", prjRef);
    jo.addProperty("Name","api_create_initiative_01");
    jo.addProperty("Owner","/user/17085226946");
    jo.addProperty("_ref",  "/portfolioItem/initiative");
    jo.addProperty("_type", "portfolioItem/initiative");

    request = new CreateRequest("Initiative", jo);

    try {
        response = api.create(request);
        JsonElement je = response.getObject();
        System.out.println(je.getAsString());
    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

}

The response is : {"CreateResult": {"_rallyAPIMajor": "2", "_rallyAPIMinor": "0", "Errors": ["Not authorized to perform action: Invalid key"], "Warnings": ["It is no longer necessary to append \".js\" to WSAPI resources."]}}

I have no idea which "key" is invalid. Also, not sure if I should be using "Initiative" or "PortfolioItem/Initiative" both fail

The security token needed to be append to the url as specified in the docs when you find them. I had cannibalized code from the rallyapi test program for api setup and the security token was not appending when performing a create. Also my code snippet above had to be changed to create("PortfolioInitiative",jo) and the property "_type" was not needed
