That error code comes from the SoapClient not being able to interpret the correct error returned by .NET. It seems that this happens when there is a type mismatch in the call to the WebMethod (RE: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=169565 )

Try oWs.TransferImage(CreateBinary(lcFileStr)), it should work (RE: http://www.west-wind.com/presentations/wchttp.htm )
