s3backer fails on buckets outside the "US Standard" region

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Make an S3 bucket in region "Ireland".
2. Apply s3backer to it.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

s3backer fails to read or write to the bucket with messages like

* Failed writing received data to disk/application

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

s3backer-1.3.2 on Mac OS X 10.7

Please provide any additional information below.

Reading the source code I found the debug-http flag and used it.  Amazon is 
sending back HTTP 301 "Moved Permanently" responses to requests.

These do not seem to include a changed location header.

I'm happy to report that s3backer seems to be working fine for me with a bucket 
in the US Standard region.

I've just found the --vhost option, which fixes this.  Apologies.

(As a suggestion, the docs could use the word "region", since Amazon uses that. 
I would've found it sooner. Thanks!)

No problem, sorry for the confusion. I've added a note to the man page.
