With the release of version 2009-02-01 we changed how you reference a queue. In previous WSDL versions you used the following structure: http://queue.amazonaws.com/<queuename> In the 2009-02-01 WSDL, you must insert the queue owner's AWS account number before the queue name in all MessageQueue service requests (that is, all actions other than CreateQueue and ListQueues): http://queue.amazonaws.com/`<acct#>`/<queuename>
