Did you construct the right OAuth signature after changing the URL? (This error sounds like a bad OAuth signature.)

Also, is there a reason you're using OAuth 1 and HMAC signatures? OAuth 1 with PLAINTEXT signatures is easier to work with, and OAuth 2 is even easier.

Also, API v1 has been deprecated, so you may just want to move to API v2 now (which only supports OAuth 2).
