Hi Stephen, That's a very odd error, since the boto docs ( http://boto.readthedocs.org/en/latest/ref/cloudwatch.html) show that security_token is, in fact, a valid parameter for the connection. Looking at some older versions of the doc, that param was not listed in the cloudwatch connection class so you may want to verify there are not multiple versions of boto installed.
Alternatively, since I see you're not running this as a local_action or "delegate_to: localhost", make sure you have the correct version of boto installed on the system where the module is executing, assuming your "- hosts:" list is not localhost.
