I figured it out - nova-cert was not installed and running.  I need to add this to my setup when EC2 is enabled, I wasn't aware of the dependency.

I know this is probably because some other nova service is not running, but Im not sure which one it needs to complete this transaction.  It'd be nice if the error message somewhere that indicated which service was not responding or what to do about it.   Can someone tell me which nova service I need to have running and configured to issue os-certificates?

It'd be nice if the user settings EC2 panel had more options, such as just creating and/or listing the EC2 access ID and Key for a particular user rather than assuming you want/need everything all at once.
