You're right that capital letters are an issue. StarCluster attempts to validate the bucket name based on the rules defined here:</div>

<div><br></div><div><a href="http://docs.amazonwebservices.com/AmazonS3/latest/dev/index.html?BucketRestrictions.html" target="_blank"></a>This states that bucket names should consist of only "<span style="font-family:verdana, sans-serif, arial;font-size:12px">lowercase letters, numbers, periods (.), underscores (_), and dashes (-)". That being said Amazon also recommends for DNS purposes that the name does not contain underscores. However, looking at the code I believe StarCluster will still allow you to create buckets with underscores in the name assuming it's not the first character. Have you tried using the underscores with only lower-case letters?</span></div>

It turns out S3 folder names that have capital letters or underscores will cause this problem. Using a folder name with all lowercase letters and dashes worked just fine. </div>
