I now did all this, and it works (i.e. the it terminated successfully,
I see my image in elasticfox, and most important I can boot it).

Great. Thanks a lot.

Just one suggestion:
First I had a bucketname that was not valid... then a lot of stuff is
done until it breaks.
It would be nice if you could check the imagename and the bucketname
before starting.

I guess, the necessary conditions can be found here:
