Yes, that is an exceptionally worthless exception. Not only is using
the base Exception a bad idea (makes things harder to catch
intelligently) but it seems to indicate parse_error() is buggy because
no error was provided...
At the very least a refactor to remove Exception should take place. If
Rackspace doesn't elegently handle someone trying to delete a building
node so be it, but if there is an error returned it shouldn't fail to
be shown to the user.
If nobody beats me to it (do we have a RS maintainer?) I will look
into these issues.

The error and list_node behavior you are seeing seem happen when a
node is building. I don't think there is a way to destroy a node while
it is building, but we should at least make the error more obvious.

I was told on twitter to email here about my problem.
I've attached the script I'm using and the output from it. The two
problems I'm having: list_nodes() is not reliable. Sometimes it
lists my nodes, but often not. destroy_node() raises an exception
every time.
Any insight would be appreciated.
Thanks,
