This error is annoying:
Error Accessing Secrets File: .pyglidein_secrets. Did you set the --secrets flag?
Just assume no secrets if the flag is not specified.

For those who think this is not urgent, two users and myself have all run into this.

The workaround for now is to "touch" an empty secrets file and point to it, correct?

I understand this is annoying @dsschult. The reason I did this was to make a point that pyGlidein requires a secrets file for storing sensitive data. Since configs are commonly committed to the pyGlidein git repo there is a good chance that someone adds their AWS S3 Logging Credentials to the general configs if they didn't realize there was a special secrets file. @gonzalomerino is right, the workaround here is to just touch an empty secrets file.
