If you look at the raw API response from a HEAD on the "testing" container
(maybe with curl) I think you'll see that you've set the wrong metadata key.

You should set "X-Version-Location: test_cont" instead of
"X-Container-Meta-X-Version-Location: test_cont"

The `-m` option for `swift post` is only for setting user metadata;
unfortunately it doesn't look like you can set arbitrary headers with
`swift post`:

I did this:

curl -H 'x-auth-token: <your-auth-token-goes-here>'
http://localhost:8080/v1/AUTH_test/testing -X POST -H 'x-versions-location:
test_cont'

-Clay
