[Openstack-operators] Swift: moving objects among accounts - edit DB or script it via http?

Hi Andrew,

That's a great idea: but here's my predicament.  I have only one cluster.
One proxy server on the cluster has swauth setup, and working OK.  The
others have tempauth.  I'm trying to sync from a tempauth user's container
to a swauth user's container.

Setting up the container sync per these docs went great until the second
POST.. http://swift.openstack.org/overview_container_sync.html

$ swift -A http://cluster2/auth/v1.0 -U test2:tester2 -K testing2 post \
  -t 'http://cluster1/v1/AUTH_208d1854-e475-4500-b315-81de645d060e/container1' \
  -k 'secret' container2

The container2 post fails.  It's my new swauth user.  The container
exists.  I can upload a file to it.  The user has .admin group.  But the
"post" fails.  In fact, I can't post anything.

# swift -A http://127.0.0.1:8080/auth/v1.0 -U test1:tester1 -K testing1
post -t 'test' -k 'test' newmusic
Container POST failed:
http://127.0.0.1:8080/v1/AUTH_65d1b0c0-5899-4c30-9d72-f4afb93fb9b4/newmusic400
Bad Request

container-server problem?  I used chef to turn all my container-servers
into sync points, and restarted the container servers by hand.

No POSTs make it to any of my sysogs. :(

Thanks for the help!
