I have nothing but troubles with data bags. The docs have an example for creating an encrypted data bag:

knife data bag from file my_data_bag /path/to/data_bag_item.json -z --secret-file /path/to/encrypted_data_bag_secret

My version is:

knife data bag from file aws_sg aws_sg/creds.json --secret foobar

Chef is returning:

ERROR: The object you are looking for could not be found
Response: No data bag 'aws_sg' could be found. Please create this data bag before adding items to it.


My file is:
wsip-70-164-152-148:chef-sauce doug$ cat data_bags/aws_sg/creds.json
{
    "id": "creds",
    "aws_access_key_id": "xxx",
    "aws_secret_access_key": "yyy"
}

So, what's wrong with that? I thought that's what I was TRYING to.. ie create the data bag...
