That still did not work. Let me verify the signature. Notice my key and secret are correct.
First URL encode all the parameters to form a base string for signing.
$ perl -MURI::Escape -e "print uri_escape('oauth_callback=oob&oauth_consumer_key=aaf0812a4bcc6e4c21783af47cf88237&oauth_nonce=3495463522&oauth_signature_method=HMAC-SHA1&oauth_timestamp=1371092839&oauth_version=1.0')"
oauth_callback%3Doob%26oauth_consumer_key%3Daaf0812a4bcc6e4c21783af47cf88237%26oauth_nonce%3D3495463522%26oauth_signature_method%3DHMAC-SHA1%26oauth_timestamp%3D1371092839%26oauth_version%3D1.0
Now hash with HMAC-SHA1, encode with Base64 (no newline at end), and URL encode the resulting signature.
There is an ampersand at the end of the consumer secret because we don't have a token secret yet (it is empty).
$ perl -MDigest::HMAC_SHA1=hmac_sha1 -MMIME::Base64 -MURI::Escape -e "print uri_escape(encode_base64(hmac_sha1('GET&https%3A%2F%2Fetwssandbox.etrade.com%2Foauth%2Fsandbox%2Frequest_token&oauth_callback%3Doob%26oauth_consumer_key%3Daaf0812a4bcc6e4c21783af47cf88237%26oauth_nonce%3D3495463522%26oauth_signature_method%3DHMAC-SHA1%26oauth_timestamp%3D1371092839%26oauth_version%3D1.0', 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx&'), ''))"

This signature matches the above.
