'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0x8b in position 1: ordinal not in range(128)

I have a pretty default setup.

I created a 'test' glacier vault. Ran the following command:

bakthat configure

I was able to set everything up correctly with the config file. (aws creds, vault, region_name, etc)

I ran the following command. The zbxapi.py file is just a python file.
$ bakthat backup zbxapi.py

boto.glacier.exceptions.UploadArchiveError: An error occurred while uploading an archive: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0x8b in position 1: ordinal not in range(128)

Any help on this? I went into python debugger and fooled around but was unsure of where the file was getting placed into the Queue object. By the time I arrived there in the debugger the object was already loaded into a UnicodeDecodeError.
