I am having problems getting a simple GET users/show.xml request to
work.   If I log in to http://dev.twitter.com/ and even try to use it
on the Twurl console, I get a "user not found" error no matter who I
request.

If I make a request via my PHP in the format 
http://twitter.com/users/show/NAME.xml,
it works fine, but am of course rate limited to 150 calls per hour.
Our app needs to make several hundred.

If I use twitteroauth.php and the format:

$content = $connection->get("users/show.xml?screen_name=NAME");

I get nothing back, user not found, just like the Twurl console.  I
can get other requests to work with the Twurl app and/or oauth (such
as statuses/public_timeline), but it appears users/show just will not
return a user.  I have also tried it with user_id=XXX *and*
screen_name=NAME, still doesn't work.

What am I doing wrong?  TIA
