Forget it - i figured out the problem. When using my "secret" value
to generate the first call - all was OK. but since i was reading
secret values associated with my photo's, the subsequent API call
used the last "secret" photo value which wasnt my account secret, and
since this is not used in the URL I couldnt see it ... duh.
