First issue solved. If only the effort to solve it would have been as trivial as the issue!   :-/

In the config file, the keys aren't allowed to be surrounded by quotes. So,

aws_secret_access_key = "MY_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY"

is *BAD* (the quotes are considered as being part of the key), while

aws_secret_access_key = MY_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY

is OK.

The config file is read via Config::INI::Reader - a subclassable .ini-file parser, so maybe it's a no-brainer for the .ini world to avoid quotes.
But for Perl programmers... Sigh.
