i know this has nothing to do w/ getting it to work w/ php, eric, but have
you tried hitting the service w/ soap ui?
http://www.soapui.org/

although its written in java, its an indispensable testing tool, imho, and i
always give it a shot when im having soap troubles.  i might try to see if
you can get a successful response from the service w/ it.
