Ubuntu – Mounting an S3 bucket onto a AWS Ubuntu instance issues

amazon s3php5s3fsUbuntu

i'm using s3fuse to mount an s3 bucket onto ubuntu, so that i can take advantage of the storage space.

here are some environment info:
System Info:
Linux ip-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx 2.6.38-8-virtual #42-Ubuntu SMP Mon Apr 11 04:06:34 UTC 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Distro Environment
Ubuntu 11.04

when i run the following command:
~$ /usr/bin/s3fs serverlogs /mnt/s3
output:
s3fs: could not determine how to establish security credentials

i have the permissions set right, i not only have the .passwd-s3fs file in my /usr/home directory, but as well as my /etc folder. i grabbed a library class to connect to the S3 with PHP and the credentials work. Any ideas what might be causing this output?

thanks in advance.

repost of my comment as the answer:

I didn't mean to answer my own post, but this seemed to get the s3 mounted, though I could have swore I ran this command last night:

sudo /usr/bin/s3fs -o allow_other serverlogsbucket /mnt/s3/

There is an added slash on at the end of the mount. It could have been sleepy eyes that could have thought this command was run.
