Getting error while configuring s3cmd

Configuring s3cmd via s3cmd --configure is failing even after providing the correct access credentials. The error that is thrown up is ERROR: S3 error: Access Denied. I am using version 1.5.2, downloaded via pip.

The Default Region is set to US, but I don't live there. Is this causing any problems, since my clock is set to a different timezone?

PS: Those who have written about configuring s3cmd, didn't get to choose Default Region. May be this was included in more recent versions.

Run with --debug and see what it tells you. Perhaps the access key you are trying to use does not have ListAllMyBuckets permission (which is required)? You can edit your config file to specify a different region after the fact. The same key works for all regions except cn-north-1 and govcloud, so getting it to work in US region means it should work for all others.
