Hey Shunde,

Check that you don't have quotes around your credentials. If you have
IPython installed you can check that your credentials are entered
correctly using:

$ starcluster shell
[~]> print cfg.aws.aws_access_key_id
'<your-key-here>'
[~]> print cfg.aws.aws_secret_access_key
'<your-secret-key-here>'

Do those values look right?
