Ahh yes, that's because the
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OsmChange page never mentions what
the version is supposed to be and all examples use "0.3" on that page
(is it possible that they come from the time when 0.3 was the API
version?).  I once made upload.py accept both 0.3 and 0.6 and forgot
to do the same to split.py but now changed it too.

Honestly I don't know, I only ever login using the username alone (in
your case that would be rw__?), I'll try out email authentication next
time I'll be uploading something.  For now added a comment at the top
of the file.
