MAGMI is not importing Images from remote URL's

I am attempting to import products in to Magento via MAGMI. The CSV is being generated by a different application. The CSV file is as follows

sku,name,image,image_label
BLE02U,Hand Cream,http://s3.amazonaws.com/some_bucket_name/product_codes/50b82c2b315bb06f5a000037/product_code_images/original.jpg,awesome image

When I run the MAGMI there are no errors reported. The products appear in the backend of Magento but the images are broken. Looking in the media folder of my local magento install suggests that no images have been downloaded as there is only images from products I have uploaded by hand.

I have the Image attributes processor installed and I am renaming images with the following regex

re::((\d|[a-z]){24})\/product_code_images\/original\.([a-z]{3})::$1\.$3

Thanks in advance for any help.

OK turns out I had configured MAGMI incorrectly. I did not have the root magento path set up. Note by default this will not be correct and you will have to adjust it.

@Muk (comment below): Let's say you installed magmi in your rootfolder, then go to: www.yourshop.com/magmi/web/magmi.php

I had the same problem but:

PHP Warning: curl_setopt_array(): CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION cannot be activated when safe_mode is enabled or an open_basedir is set in ...

I just disabled open_basedir and it worked like a charm.
