Cloudfront signed url works with "setup page", but not local copy

Question

I generated a signed url so I could do rtmp streaming through cloudfront from a S3 bucket.
When I put this url as the "src" of the player found here: http://osmf.org/dev/2.0gm/setup.html, I can see my video, however, it doesn't work on my local copy of Strobe Media Player.
I went and grabbed the latest available versions from source forge (2.0 of OSMF and 1.6 of SMP), compiled them, and tried to play the file, but it wouldn't work on my compiled copy.
My player works fine with normal videos, only when using signed urls from cloudfromt do I get ths error
It uses a signed url like this:
rtmp://s161ki0ys7euuz.cloudfront.net/cfx/st/vid_cdntest001?Signature=RSS0PV4RCq6lsF7gKE202 sHJw0lxCE9zwJbISVuovaBnARQFCVZ2e6SSejHXN4uIT5uotDBT8iYZVvfUC3rq0A571CWVETsnlJ4jhEir1JE5w-p jC-cx~CjxkcVQSj8EC07zozoNCypiBggLy0w2Id8TUxTuX9KrIDlN~BImwBjN1cnuZMpms9dpfuw-MLFefHtTDwfZZ Yh00LSUAEqA0BwqhA6NECHbrkaXQjUM7r5TRSP3ZH5uFIWhUWLMH3WWYLyz5bQab3FQxZhI4BhdFPJm6Z0m6HVVnuz eMqibMWDGybtoepjkTUYJqeTaYQUpIHrp1-0-dDVhhCx7BxCOlA__&Key-Pair-Id=APKAJSRQXYNPUENHF6HQ&Exp ires=1387398525
And it requires a flashvar "urlIncludesFMSApplicationInstance" to be set to true. The flashvar is set in my local copy of the player.
I set "verbose" to true, and I get "Playback failed. Failed to play(stream ID: 1)"
The AWS people were able to play the file on their debug player, so it isn't a problem with the video. It's just something about my copy of the player or the environment I'm on.

Answer 1

I'm initlaizing the player using swfObject like this:
$(document).ready(function(){
        callPlayer("rtmp://s161ki0ys7euuz.cloudfront.net/cfx/st/vid_cdntest001?Signature=EYvGzU2I4CRLE4h8pD8fec3A6fwfIqadzuAtVBQcsDeh0zU9rexKJqq-5GVNG~PdNlV~nbdSlUl4FAJ6rCuOTAh7BrXkieg26z4y3uMgzLm3I3p8GSjTyUBe5rIbZhnxUulSFfHoOWFDV-keORil3~zG91OVDKxvsbIrZv6-IsYTJQzYA7w6R2jy6SiJEJwfqNvD5xdiv2w87GuR472kELQ79yvI6twgeDnZOkN~w9khQSVLcqqmAkkTHQxxkBR8hs954VaUEAKZO~ejwZ3ju8xTUAeuuQu3y06r6SHNGwhLdQh00qV1PUHSMdPdHp3SzZdCxwAepV6xUx2~TR2idw__&Key-Pair-Id=APKAJSRQXYNPUENHF6HQ&Expires=1387466710");
    function callPlayer(x){
    $("#PlayerHolder").html("<span id='PlayerDiv'></span>");
        var flashvars = {};
        flashvars.verbose=true;
        flashvars.src=x;
        var parameters = {};
        parameters.urlIncludesFMSApplicationInstance=true;
        var attributes = {};
        attributes.name="player";
        attributes.id="player";
        swfobject.embedSWF("StrobeMediaPlayback.swf?ID="+Math.random()*100,"PlayerDiv","470","320","11.2","scripts/expressInstall.swf", flashvars, parameters, attributes);
