I would attempt to get this URL using:
    get_iplayer --url "http://www.bbc.co.uk/learningzone/clips/thermal-imagery-in-the-desert/3204.html"

No harm in showing "--type tv" or "--modes=this,that,other", but keep prefix paths & stuff out of it when posting to the list, unless it has a bearing on the question. "-o . " is better (or just use your default).

I see pretty clearly:
  ERROR: rtmp server sent error
  ERROR: rtmp server requested close

So I don't think you're doing anything wrong.

From verbose output the server seems to be saying:

  DEBUG: Property: <Name:               code, STRING:     NetConnection.Connect.Rejected>
  DEBUG: Property: <Name:        description, STRING:     [ AccessManager.Reject ] : Access denied!>

I might guess that a different swfUrl is used / needed, but I might very well be wrong. 

The best thing I can suggest - not answering your question but maybe getting you the video - is to try is visiting the webpage using Firefox with the Download Helper extension. I find that (on Linux) usually gets me videos from other sites which get_flash_videos fails on.
