Using CopyIntoItems from Copy.asmx from a remote soap client

Question

Hello,
I have been working on a soap client that runs on a remote client (not on the SharePoint server) and is platform-independent so that it cannot use the SP Object Model. I have managed to get most of the functionality working using SharePoint web-services except for CopyIntoItems.
My target server is a SharePoint 2007 server and I have a Document Library set up so I can upload files into it.
My soap request looks as follows.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<soap:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"> <soap:Body>
<CopyIntoItems xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/">
<SourceUrl>http://null</SourceUrl>
<DestinationUrls>
<string>http://shpt.ad2010.local:35492/sites/targetsubsite/Test List/hello.txt</string>
</DestinationUrls>
<Fields>
<FieldInformation Type="Text" DisplayName="Test Column2" InternalName="Test_x0020_Column20" Id="{8c35c0ca-d578-47fd-b7f3-aed199141c86}" Value="Value 0" />
<FieldInformation Type="Text" DisplayName="Test Column3" InternalName="Test_x0020_Column30" Id="{6c0d3fe3-4f0d-4cff-997b-201747f83315}" Value="Value 1" />
</Fields>
<Stream>WW91IHNheSBoZWxsbywgSSBzYXkgZ29vZGJ5ZQ==
</Stream>
</CopyIntoItems>
</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>
The URL I am invoking this on is: http://shpt.ad2010.local:35492/sites/targetsubsite/_vti_bin/Copy.asmx
The response I get back is as follows:
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<soap:Body>
<CopyIntoItemsResponse xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/">
<CopyIntoItemsResult>
0
</CopyIntoItemsResult>
<Results>
<CopyResult DestinationUrl="http://shpt.ad2010.local:35492/sites/targetsubsite/Test List/hello.txt" ErrorCode="DestinationInvalid" ErrorMessage="The Copy web service method must be called on the same domain that contains the destination url."/>
</Results>
</CopyIntoItemsResponse>
</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>
I am unable to find any help on the error mentioned here. I have tried setting the source URL to something valid (I have to make it up because there really is no source URL as I copy from the remote client).
I wonder if I can even use the CopyIntoItems request (or the Copy web-service as a whole) from a remote soap client, and whether it was only meant to be used for copies between SharePoint Sites. Any clues are much appreciated.

I am trying to use the copy.asmx service to upload a file from a custom sharepoint form into a document library, and I can only use javascript with jquery. (no visual studio)
I have a similar soap envelope.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<soap:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"> <soap:Body>
<CopyIntoItems xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/">
<SourceUrl>C://dir/file.txt</SourceUrl>
<DestinationUrls>
<string>http://[server]/sites/subsite/Demo List/sample.txt</string>
</DestinationUrls>
<Fields>
<FieldInformation Type="Text" DisplayName="Title" InternalName="Title" Id="{fa564e0f-0c70-4ab9-b863-0177e6ddd247}" Value="Test Value" />
</Fields>
<Stream>base64Binary</Stream>
</CopyIntoItems>
</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>
I'm getting a 500 "internal server error" back.
Can anyone see what I'm doing wrong ?
