Cannot transmit raw bitcoin transaction

I'm using the testnet and as far as i can tell im doing everything right but it just wont send. The coins are old with more than 170 confirms now, the unspent output has a total of 4. I'm sending 3 to another address in my wallet and 0.5 to another address in my wallet with 0.5 as a tx fee.

When I sign it I get a hash and 'Complete:True' at the end but when I send it i get error: {"code":-22,"message":"TX rejected"}.

Here is a copy of the transaction:

I think I know what you are referring to, the transaction you can see is me sending 3btc to my test wallet and the 6.9999 being returned to my change address, I used 'sendfrom' to do that. In the new transaction I'm trying to spend the 3btc output only, is that not possible? Do i have to refer to both outputs? I will try and reduce the mining fee and update in a moment... – derrend – 2014-04-30T12:49:17.987

darn, would be nice to know what the limit is, can't find it anywhere. – derrend – 2014-04-30T12:52:39.950

1fee went down and transaction was broadcast perfectly, tx - 01ea92b98d3d13db1bc164b3919ceab9c55e6d96a50f41adc93642f0a67f86fc Thanks so much for the help. I will update if I find out what the max allowed fee is :) – derrend – 2014-04-30T12:56:11.433
