JsonStorage() fails to write .pig_schema to S3 after correctly writing alias to json files.

Hello,

I've been having trouble with JsonStorage(). First, since my Python UDF had
an outputSchema that returned floats, I was getting an error in JsonStorage
trying to cast Double to Float. I resolved this by changing my UDF to
return doubles.

Pig-0.11.1, hadoop-1.0.3.

Next, I am able to successfully write json files out to s3 (I was watching
as my Pig job was running and grabbed a sample) but then at what appears to
be the final step of writing .pig_schema, this error is thrown:

grunt> *STORE firsts INTO 's3n://n2ygk/firsthops.json' using JsonStorage();*

*... *chugs along for a while successfully writing
s3://n2ygk/firsthops.json/part-r-* into the bucket.... and then:

*java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: This file system object (hdfs://
10.253.44.244:9000) does not support access to the request path
's3n://n2ygk/firsthops.json/.pig_schema' You possibly called
FileSystem.get(conf) when you should have called FileSystem.get(uri, conf)
to obtain a file system supporting your path.*

Any ideas?
