Thank you for pointing this out. I've tried

	$ euca-describe-instances
	EC2_ACCESS_KEY environment variable must be set.
	Connection failed

while having EC2_CERT and EC2_PRIVATE_KEY setup and in shell where
ec2-describe-instances works. The man euca-describe-instances(1) says
that

       Euca2ools  will  use the environment variables EC2_URL, EC2_ACCESS_KEY,
       EC2_SECRET_KEY, EC2_CERT, EC2_PRIVATE_KEY, S3_URL,  EUCALYPTUS_CERT  by
       default.

Is there anything else I need to have setup beyond EC2_CERT and
EC2_PRIVATE_KEY?
