EPMA web service help needed (9.3.1.5)

Question

I'm having issues when trying to utilize the backend EPMA web services. What I'm attempting to do is write a java app that can hit the EPMA services to authenticate, upload a flat file, then run a flat file import using a rule on the server.
I'm currently able to authenticate and able to upload, but my call to the Imports.asmx web service to startFlatFileImportJob() is returning the following exception:
Server was unable to process request. ---> Unable to find assembly 'data_access_layer, Version=9.3.2771.29149, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null'.
(stack dump below).
Are there any web service experts out there who can help me out with this? I'm writing Java in Eclipse on JRE 1.5.0_18. (code below)
Sorry about the markup - couldn't figure out how to turn it off...
Thanks,
Jon
