Well, I just tried remove the 'the' (is that redundant?). I've tried it
both with and without the as string clauses, and I get the same results.

I'm completely baffled. I'm fairly certain that it isn't the webservice, as
it works from Windows, and I've gotten it to work from Java for another
project. I'd really like to make this work with AppleScript (and then
AppleEvents from Cocoa) for a Cocoa application. Ulitmately, I'm trying to
rewrite a VB app from Windows that uses DCOM to an Os X app, that uses
SOAP/WebServices. But at this point, I'm dead in the water. :-(
