Doh, should have read the link you provided. Our implementation of iControl is built using a RPC-Encoded format. We designed the API back in the 2001 timeframe. Since then, the Doc-Literal format has become the recommended standard but many of the client toolkits continue to support RPC-ENC (.net, Apache Axis-v1, SOAP::Lite, etc). The error you are seeing is most likely due to the fact that the soap package you are using does not support RPC based encoding.
