REST API Access gives INVALID_SESSION_ID as a result

Hi,

I know there are several posts on this subject, but none of them have solved my problem. I have successfully completed the OAUTH2 workflow and gotten an Access Token and Instance URL from the OAuth2 Redirect. I then save these two and now am trying to access data using curl, as shown below.

$ curl 'https://na9.salesforce.com/services/data/v20.0/' -H 'Authorization: Bearer access_token'

I get the following as the response:

[{"message":"Session expired or invalid","errorCode":"INVALID_SESSION_ID"}]

The following works fine:

$ curl 'https://na9.salesforce.com/services/data/'

I have reviewed the following posts:

http://boards.developerforce.com/t5/REST-API-Integration/Invalid-Session-ID-from-REST-API/td-p/234773

One of them mentions I need to send an email to Alex to enable API Remote Access - is that still needed?

Note that the Access Token is correct and is fresh (only 10 minutes old). Instance_url is also correct.

Thanks
