I hope this helps someone trying to configure their rclone for Blomp.
The rclone configuration is a hair different than I found in an old forum answer. I hope this helps somebody out.

Complete the Config File: Verify your rclone.conf entry for BLOMP includes these specific fields:
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
[RcloneBlompRemoteName]
type = swift
user = YOUR_email@example.com
key = YOUR_blomp-password
auth = https://authenticate.blomp.com/v2.0/
tenant = storage
auth_version = 2
endpoint_type = public
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Include Bucket in Commands: When running commands, **you must append your email** (which acts as the bucket/container name) to the remote name.
For example: rclone ls BLOMP:your-email@example.com.
