Hello Geno, After some trial and error involving different permutations of geo targeting options, I discovered that the problem was not with the geo targeting but rather with an inaccurate error message. The actual problem with your request lies with the language targeting--you're specifying 'en_US' as a <languages> value, but you really should just provide 'en'. As the documentation for the languages code states at the top of the page, it's the codes in the middle column of the table that you should use for setting the language targeting of a campaign:
http://code.google.com/intl/en/apis/adwords/docs/developer/adwords_api_languages.html If you switch that over to 'en' I think you'll find everything works. I'll see what I can do to get the core engineering team to change the error message to something more accurate in this case.
