Apparently, you do something wrong with the signing.

It is highly likely that you must append any request parameters (as
a query string) to the url before you determine the signature.

Alternatively, the web service you contact might not expect
a query string and might therefore not consider it when it
recreates the signature. Then, the signature check would fail
as you and the service compute it in a different way.

Check the available documentation for your web service.
Does it support request parameters (query strings). What
does it (or the "oauth" spec) about signature requirements
for those parameters.
