REST API: Create Virtual Machine Deployment not creating VM

Hey there,

I'm trying to go about creating a virtual machine via. the REST API (using the Python wrapper). My code executes successfully, however it is not creating the actual virtual machine. Is this a problem with the Python wrapper or am I missing a step?

I'm following the example here:

http://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/develop/python/how-to-guides/service-management/

My code (with sensitive bits removed):

from azure import *
from azure.servicemanagement import *

SUBSCRIPTION_ID = 'sid'
CERT_PATH = 'path_to_id'

sms = ServiceManagementService(SUBSCRIPTION_ID, CERT_PATH)

name = 'vmname'
location = 'East US'

sms.create_hosted_service(service_name=name,
    label=name,
    location=location)

# Name of an os image as returned by list_os_images
image_name = 'image_name'

# Destination storage account container/blob where the VM disk
# will be created
media_link = 'media_link'

# Linux VM configuration, you can use WindowsConfigurationSet
# for a Windows VM instead
linux_config = LinuxConfigurationSet(name, 'user_name', 'password', True)

os_hd = OSVirtualHardDisk(image_name, media_link)

endpoint_config = ConfigurationSet()
endpoint_config.configuration_set_type = 'NetworkConfiguration'

endpoint1 = ConfigurationSetInputEndpoint(name='ssh', protocol='tcp', port='22', local_port='22', load_balanced_endpoint_set_name=None, enable_direct_server_return=False)

endpoint_config.input_endpoints.input_endpoints.append(endpoint1)

sms.create_virtual_machine_deployment(
	service_name=name,
    deployment_name=name,
    deployment_slot='production',
    label=name,
    role_name=name,
    system_config=linux_config,
    network_config=endpoint_config,
    os_virtual_hard_disk=os_hd,
    role_size='ExtraSmall'
)

Ok, so I tried posting some straight up XML to see if maybe it was the Python wrapper, no dice. I got a response 202 with no response body, but still no VM in the portal.

XML:
