Hey,

I got my credentials yesterday and entered them via “python -m awscli configure” but when I try to use the command “ego4d --output\_directory=“~/ego4d\_data” --datasets full\_scale annotations” i get the response “botocore.exceptions.ClientError: An error occurred (403) when calling the HeadObject operation: Forbidden”. What can I do?
