qmgr not recognized

( total pymqi noob here )

I am trying to write some code that will allow us to monitor queue depth and return messages. I downloaded and installed pymqi and it seemed to go well, but when I try using it, I get 2058 errors.

Using runmqsc, the queue manager is there :
-bash-3.00$ runmqsc MTASOEAST
5724-H72 (C) Copyright IBM Corp. 1994, 2005. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
Starting MQSC for queue manager MTASOEAST.

end
     1 : end
No MQSC commands read.
No commands have a syntax error.
All valid MQSC commands were processed.

But when I try to run the program that talks to the queue manager, I get 2058 ( aka you can't spell the queue manager name )

-bash-3.00$ python qd.py
MQI Error. Comp: 2, Reason 2058: FAILED: MQRC_Q_MGR_NAME_ERROR

Source : there's a lot more : this is just pared down to the minimum :

from pymqi import *
import sys, os
from optparse import OptionParser

usage='Usage: %s [options] QMGRNAME QNAME'
def main(argv=None):
    if argv is None:
      argv = sys.argv
    try:

      #open queue manager
      qmgr = QueueManager('MTASOEAST')

    except MQException, err:
      print '[ERROR]',err.errorCodes[err.msg]
      print usage % (sys.argv[0],)
      return err.code
    except MQMIError,err:
      if err.reason==2033:
        #no messages
        print 'No messages.'
      else:
        print err
        return err.reason

#MQException class that holds application specific error codes
#and error messages
class MQException(Exception):
  errorCodes={'1': 'QMGRNAME, QNAME or MESSAGE missing.',
              '2': 'Too many arguments.',
              '3': 'File does not exist.',
              '4': 'QMGRNAME or QNAME missing.',
              '5': 'Index error. Not so many messages in queue.',
              }
  code=0
  def __init__(self, code):
    self.code=code
    self.msg = str(code)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    sys.exit(main())

Any ideas ?

Thanks,
