Hey guys,

I'm trying to snapshot my ES indexes using curator and I'm getting the following error:

```
/usr/bin/curator snapshot --repository jf_backup --prefix jokefire- --ignore_unavailable --partial indices --all-indices
2015-10-08 20:42:51,536 INFO Job starting: snapshot indices
2015-10-08 20:42:51,536 WARNING Overriding default connection timeout. New timeout: 21600
2015-10-08 20:42:51,574 INFO Matching all indices. Ignoring flags other than --exclude.
**2015-10-08 20:42:52,320 ERROR Failed to verify all nodes have repository access.**
2015-10-08 20:42:52,320 WARNING Job did not complete successfully.

```

So then I deleted the contents of the backup repository, then I tried again:

```
#/usr/bin/curator snapshot --repository jf_backup --prefix jokefire- --ignore_unavailable --partial indices --all-indices
2015-10-08 20:46:40,527 INFO Job starting: snapshot indices
2015-10-08 20:46:40,527 WARNING Overriding default connection timeout. New timeout: 21600

2015-10-08 20:49:53,275 WARNING Job did not complete successfully.

```

And I'm seeing errors like this in the elasticsearch logs:

```

        ... 4 more

```

Does anyone know what these errors means and how to fix it? I can't post any more logs because of the character limit on the post.

Thanks
