Please check the post at Stackoverflow - I believe something in your connection.rb class does something weird with the string when it's passed via an environment variable.

When I put in my keys as plaintext to the initializer - it works fine. Use a yml config and environment variables, it will connect but every other method fails (Service, Bucket, S3Object, etc.). Always complains that my key cannot be found - but I've verified the keys (and the connection is fine!)
