So i can get the curator working fine when i run it manually as shown. curator --config /tmp/.curator/curator.yml /etc/curator/delete.yml. I was to have both configs under /etc/curator. When I try to run this command it fails and not sure why. curator --config /etc/curator/curator.yml /etc/curator/delete.yml. I get a whole bunch of pyhon errors.

Providing the errors, as well as what version of things you have would be very helpful.

You upgraded, right? Because Curator 4.2.4 fixed that.
