App Engine Bulk Data Upload- Authentication Error

When I try to upload data using appcfg.py I get an authentication error regardless of my login details being completely correct.

    appcfg.py upload_data --config_file=bulkloader.yaml --filename=/output.csv --kind=AutoCompleteIndex .
Application: qwertifyy; version: dev.

What could the problem be?

I think you are using OpenID? If so, it appears that remote_api doesn't work with OpenID:

I encounter this issue when trying to authenticate with a "Google Apps" account.

Get around the issue by setting up another "Google" account that can be used with Google App Engine and using this to authenticate with instead. You can do this from Dashboard > Administration > Permissions.

You're using the wrong options. I ran into the same problem by specifying the directory.

There are plenty of pitfalls in the process. After spending much time on something so elementary, I wrote a tutorial to get people through the process quickly and without any fuss.
