Ok. Trying your suggestion got me a different error. Now it fails with: 
ResourceNotReady: failed waiting for successful resource state. I'm 
currently trying to debug this, but haven't found anything useful yet. Any 
suggestions? If anyone wants to see anything else to help with this, please 
ask and i'll upload it. Thank you for your time and help.
