BAPI_DOCUMENT_CHECKOUTVIEW2 as Web Service (Downloading Documents)

Question

Hi,
We have a problem with downloading documents from our DMS.
The BAPI_DOCUMENT_CHECKOUTVIEW2 needs the parameter "PF_FTP_DEST"  to checkout documents.
When I use "SAPFTP" the WS answers with:
<Return>
            <Type>E</Type>
            <Id>26</Id>
            <Number>172</Number>
            <Message>File c:\temp\KOPIEVONJCOTUTORIAL.PDF cannot be created</Message>
            <LogNo/>
            <LogMsgNo>000000</LogMsgNo>
            <MessageV1>c:\temp\KOPIEVONJCOTUTORIAL.PDF</MessageV1>
            <MessageV2/>
            <MessageV3/>
            <MessageV4/>
            <Parameter/>
            <Row>0</Row>
            <Field/>
            <System>EW1MAND075</System>
</Return>
When I use "SAPFTPA" the WS answers with:
<Return>
            <Type/>
            <Id/>
            <Number>000</Number>
            <Message/>
            <LogNo/>
            <LogMsgNo>000000</LogMsgNo>
            <MessageV1/>
            <MessageV2/>
            <MessageV3/>
            <MessageV4/>
            <Parameter/>
            <Row>0</Row>
            <Field/>
            <System/>
</Return>
but nothing is checked out to c:\temp.
When I leave it blank the ws returns:
<Return>
            <Type>E</Type>
            <Id>29</Id>
            <Number>001</Number>
            <Message>BOM not found for this material/plant/usage</Message>
            <LogNo/>
            <LogMsgNo>000000</LogMsgNo>
            <MessageV1>Program no longer started via RFC. No return possi</MessageV1>
            <MessageV2/>
            <MessageV3/>
            <MessageV4/>
            <Parameter/>
            <Row>0</Row>
            <Field/>
            <System>EW1MAND075</System>
</Return>
From the SE37 the documents where CheckedOut without problems to c:\temp.
For testing I used SoapUI which works great with other WebServices (eg. BAPI_DOCUMENT_CHANGE2) we have build.
What is wrong with the WebService from BAPI_DOCUMENT_CHECKOUTVIEW2?
