[StarCluster] FW: problem with EBS volume

Hi Amanda,

I believe this is because you have spaces in front of your volume
section. The INI parser is confusing your [volume] section as a string
in the VOLUMES list. Removing the leading spaces from your [volume]
section should fix things.

Hope that helps,

~Justin
