At this point I have no idea; I took things to be SOAP because your SoapUI tool 
worked.

My next suggestion would be to insert a proxy between yourself and the API, 
specificly so that you can run your working SoapUI test through it. Then you 
can get a snapshot of headers and requests that work.

We've used Paros in the past, but a search for "debugging http proxy" on Google 
shows several choices.
