title: Can't knife ec2 server create for Australian region
body: <p>Setting up this service for a client in Australia. Running the below command works for the US default region, when I try for the Australian (ap-southeast-2) region I get an error I can't debug.</p>

  <p>This does show that an existing server is up and running.</p>
  
  <p>In addition for my own sanity, I ran the command on the us-east-1a zone and:</p>
  
  <pre><code>knife ec2 server create -G linux,web,database,elasticsearch,redis -I ami-9c78c0f5 -f m1.small -i ~/.ec2/myclient.pem -x ubuntu -r 'role[base],role[monitoring],role[app_database_master],role[the_app],role[the_app_task_broker]' -E 'production'  -N the-server-test --availability-zone=us-east-1a --distro=ubuntu12.04-gems --bootstrap-version=11.4.0

  <p>It works. So something to do with the new region?</p>
