I think the problem is that it has "action=modify".
Node id=-4 isn't a real node id so that node isn't yet in OSM. 
bulk_upload.py sees the action="modify" and takes that to mean that it 
should upload the node as a modification, when it really needs to upload the 
node as an add.

If you strip out the "action=modify" I think it will work.

I'm not sure if bulk_upload.py is doing the correct thing on a 'modify' with 
a negative node number or if the node id should take precedence over the 
action.
