Hi Eric as mentioned above, we had a similar problem, which we resolved as described above. I suspect this is a 'trap' that a lot of developers who are working with your api are likely to fall into, so it might be helpful to provide some messages in your error reporting which might give some clues to help api developers to figure out where they're going wrong on this issue!
