Unable to download AppEngine datastore entities

Based on other questions, I expected to be able to run the following command to get a dump of datastore entities for my app:

appcfg.py download_data --filename data.db .

(Here's the app.yaml file in that directory.)

When I run that command, however, I get a long stack trace ending with a crypic error:

google.appengine.api.datastore_errors.BadRequestError: app s~old-nyc cannot access app old-nyc's data

I get this error even if I explicitly specify --application=old-nyc. If, as suggested in this question, I specify --application=s~old-nyc, then I get this error:

[ERROR   ] Authentication Failed: Incorrect credentials or unsupported authentication type (e.g. OpenId).

What do I need to do to download my data?

Specifying --application s~old-nyc changed the default URL to http://s~old-nyc.appengine.com rather than http://old-nyc.appengine.com. To get the command to work, I also had to specify --url http://old-nyc.appspot.com/remote_api.

My full command was:

appcfg.py download_data --application s~old-nyc --url http://old-nyc.appspot.com/_ah/remote_api --filename data.db
