You have to go in to IAM, and make sure the user that is associated with the credentials you are using, has the necessary s3 permissions.

This error message is a little old, you should consider upgrading your ExAws. Basically what’s happening here is that ExAws isn’t finding any auth credentials, and so is trying to use the EC2 IAM role. That isn’t working either, so it’s exploding. I’d double check how you’re trying to load your credentials.
