Bug Description

ec2-consistent-snapshot returns success even if creation of the snapshot(s) fails due to an invalid volume name.

This seems undesirable, since one might want to use the output of success as input to a follow operation (tagging the snapshots, for example).

# /usr/local/src/ec2-consistent-snapshot --description "test" vol-aaaaaaaa
ec2-consistent-snapshot: ERROR: create_snapshot: InvalidVolume.NotFound: The volume 'vol-aaaaaaaa' does not exist. at /usr/local/src/ec2-consistent-snapshot line 220.

# echo $?
0
