I'm attempting to use the new Graph API Facebook recently released, but I can't seem to get it to work correctly.

I've gone through the steps, and after the /authorize call, I receive an access_token:

access_token=109002049121898|nhKwSTJVPbUZ5JYyIH3opCBQMf8.

When I attempt to use that token I get:

{ "error": { "type": "QueryParseException", "message": "An active access token must be used to query information about the current user." } }

I'm stumped as too why...
