Here's a quote from the section on "Configuring Access":

"If your source data is an Amazon S3 bucket, then set up an AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) user so that you give the user the ability to list the Amazon S3 bucket, get the location of the bucket, and read the objects in the bucket." [Emphasis mine.]

EDIT2: Much of the information provided in this answer could be useful for others, so it will remain here, but John's answer actually got to the bottom of OP's issue.
