401 Unauthorized when trying to grab playlists using Spotify API

I've pulled a client_credentials token and while I can access other parts of the API, I can't seem to pull playlist information. It's definitely a public playlist, yet I'm getting 401 Unauthorized. Am I just misunderstanding something?

Edit For example, this works: puts curl -I -s -X GET "https://api.spotify.com/v1/users/#{testUser}" -H "Authorization: Bearer {#{@accessToken}}"

This does not: puts curl -I -s -X GET "https://api.spotify.com/v1/users/#{testUser}/playlists/#{testPlaylist}?fields=href,name,owner(!href,external_urls),tracks.items(added_by.id,track(name,href,album(name,href)))" -H "Authorization: Bearer {#{@accessToken}}"

Are you sure you are sending the credentials cookie as part of your request? If you're not sure, you can use Wireshark or a similar tool to see the details of your request.

Edit: Relevant doc, but you've probably already seen this:
