I'm not sure what you mean?  I did have the package name wrong as it happens (used the org name not the dataset name) but I've since corrected and tried the following, all of which give the same error:

	{ "resource" : { "package_id" : "rbnz-c1-monetary-aggregates" } }
	{ "resource" : { "package_id" : "rbnz-c1-monetary-aggregates" , "name" : "m3-y-on-y"} }
	{ "resource" : { "package_id" : "rbnz-c1-monetary-aggregates" , "name" : "m3-y-on-y", "title" : "M3 Y on Y"} }

I've also checked the package name through http://demo.ckan.org/api/3/action/package_list

The full command, excluding my API key is:

	curl -X POST http://demo.ckan.org/api/3/action/datastore_create -H "Authorization: <my key>" -d @ckan-create.json

where ckan-create.json is a file with just one of the lines above in it.

cheers
Jay
