I experienced one odd thing; when using the env variable VOLATILITY_LOCATION, volatility complains that "No suitable address space mapping found", however when the file is specified on the command line, all is well.  Output below:

Hey everyone, 

The 2.1 RC1 downloads are now available [1]. Per the usual, there are zip and tar archives of the source code, a windows module installer, and a standalone windows executable (with python and all dependencies build-in). We ask that you test vigorously over the next 2 weeks, especially with any x64 images, and let us know via the issue tracker [2] if you run into any bugs. At the end of July, we'll announce the official release of 2.1. 

Also, a lot of the documentation [3] has been updated, including the FAQ, command reference, features by plugin matrix, and roadmap, so that may be a useful resource to you when using 2.1. 

Thank you very much!
