Trouble with AIM in Live Mode

I am using AIM, and it was working fine in test mode. When I changed to my live API ID and Password I started getting an error message. Here is the error message I am getting:

AuthorizeNet Error: Response Code: 3 Response Subcode: 2 Response Reason Code: 13 Response Reason Text: The merchant login ID or password is invalid or the account is inactive

My account is definitely not inactive, and I am using the correcet api login info, because I coppied and pasted it, so I know it is right. Authorize.net support wanted me to make sure that I was posting to https://authorize.net/gateway/transact.dll.

How can I make sure I am posting to that URL? I have two pages, I have an HTML form that is posted to a page called aim.php. Here is aim.php:

                                <?php
                               require_once 'includes/anet_php_sdk/AuthorizeNet.php'; // Make sure this path is correct.

                               $transaction = new AuthorizeNetAIM('id', 'pass');

                               $transaction->first_name = $_POST["firstname"];
                               $transaction->last_name = $_POST["lastname"];
                               $transaction->phone = $_POST["phone"];
                               $transaction->address = $_POST["address"];
                               $transaction->city = $_POST["city"];
                               $transaction->state = $_POST["state"];
                               $transaction->zip = $_POST["zip"];
                               $transaction->amount = $_POST["amount"];
                               $transaction->card_num = $_POST["cardnum"];
                               $transaction->exp_date = $_POST["expdate"];
                               $transaction->company = $_POST["employer"] . ' - ' . $_POST["jobdescription"];
                               $transaction->description = $_POST["description"];
                               $transaction->email = $_POST["email"];
                               $transaction->card_code = $_POST["cvv"];

                               $response = $transaction->authorizeAndCapture();

                               if ($response->approved) {
                                  echo "Success! Your credit card has been charged. You will be receiving an email receipt shortly.<br />";
                                  echo "Transaction ID: " . $response->transaction_id;
                               } else {
                                  echo $response->error_message;
                               }
                               ?>

As you can see there is no URL on this page. Is it a URL somewhere in the SDK that I am supposed to change?

define("AUTHORIZENET_SANDBOX", false);

This did the trick, I think this needs to be better documented. I couldn't find anywhere that said that by default you are in a sandbox. I'm sure someone can prove me wrong on this though.
