If you update to the latest gdata, this error should go away. The FAQ has 
instructions on how to do this for Ubuntu.  Let us know if you have any 
problems with the update.

Installing latest gdata helped, but:
- I also had to uninstall the googlecl deb and install manually
- setup.py cannot be run as an executable (for gdata it can)
- I had to use --force-auth, will this happen every time gdata is updated? very 
confusing
- now the video upload starts but it fails after a while, apparently it is too 
big:
"(413: Request Entity Too Large)"

Is this an API limitation? Picasa seems to allow up to 1G, my video is 200M.
