TypeError: string indices must be integers, not str

Seemingly randomly, the output from clb list isn't a list of the load balancers but this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

I am getting this too. Oddly this was working fine with a normal user, the only caveat I could fine was needing to change perms of cacerts.txt under the cloudlb module. Then magically this morning, I started getting the same type of error:
$ scl enable python27 "clb list"

This is centos 6.6 running python2.7 from the centOS SCL repo.
NOTE, if run as root user it works as expected though. Any ideas?
