Changing `"amount" : 10000000` to `"satoshis" : 10000000` worked.

Can you give the serialized raw translation at the end of this method? This may have something to do with units (Satoshis vs full BTC) or not using a properly formatted scriptPubKey.

That error happens when the transaction attempts to send more Satoshis than it spends. You might have your units mixed up (using Satoshis instead of BTC, or vice versa).
