Thanks Barret,

I'm very confused about the cookie file behavior.  I tried to simplify it 
as much as possible and found this:

$ rbt post 814

will write a new cookie file with a session id,  but calling rbt from a 
python script in any of these ways:

subprocess.call("rbt post 814", shel=True)

subprocess.call(['rbt', 'post', '814'])

or even

os.system("rbt post 814")

writes a cookie file with just the header and no session id.  I'm baffled.

How are others calling rbt from python scripts and getting authentication 
to work?
