I've been using GYB successfully for a little while now with basic backups. Today I wanted to remove labels at the same time

--email us...@domain.com --action purge-labels

but I'm getting the error: "403: Insufficient Permission - insufficientPermissions - Giving up."

Any obviousl reason for that?

You probably chose read only backup scopes when you set GYB up. Run with "--action revoke" to revoke the existing authorization and then rerun the label purge, this time choosing modify.
