couchdb-load does not work with username and password: 'You are not a db or server admin.'

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Make a backup with couchdb-dump
2. Create a new database with Futon
3. Make sure you are not in admin-party, setup one or more admins
4. Issue the command "couchdb-load -u serveradminusername -p 
serveradminpassword --input=backup20110530.bin 
http://127.0.0.1:5984/databasename"

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
- I was expecting a list of document ids while the documents are being loaded.
- I did get instead:

---- start output ----
Loading document '_design/main'
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/couchdb-load", line 5, in <module>
    load.main()

    raise ServerError((status_code, error))

What version of the product are you using?
python-couchdb 0.6.1
couchdb 1.0.1-0ubuntu3

On what operating system?
MoonOs (ubuntu-based)

Please provide any additional information below.

I also tried the command "couchdb-load --input=backup20110530.bin
http://admin:password@127.0.0.1:5984/databasename

This gives me another error message:

Have you tried to update couchdb-python to at least 0.8 release? 0.6.1 was 
released two years ago and mostly out of dated. One of major changes was 
removing httplib2 from dependencies and support modern features. Latest release 
should work for you, but you should known about issue 179 and issue 194 to work 
around those problems.
