Here's the error I got:

Traceback (most recent call last):

Not sure how long into tracking this happened. -collect option worked fine.

Looks like it happens if you're running a --collect at the same time with the same credentials. Should allow multiple keys or at least recover gracefully.

Happened again today but no other process was running.
