I once had a similar issue where the SOAP request generated from my
wsdl2ruby client didn't have proper namespaces specified.  My mistake
at that time was passing a Hash or a String instead of the correct
object to the method:

#!/usr/bin/env ruby
require 'UserInfoDriver.rb'

soap = UserInfoSoap.new(endpoint_url)

# run ruby with -d to see SOAP wiredumps.
soap.wiredump_dev = STDERR if $DEBUG

# SYNOPSIS
#   GetUserByUsername(parameters)
#
# ARGS
#   parameters      GetUserByUsername
#                   - {urn:::Users}GetUserByUsername
#
# RETURNS
#   parameters      GetUserByUsernameResponse
#                   - {urn:::Users}GetUserByUsernameResponse
#
parameters = "lapidary"
p soap.getUserByUsername(parameters) # => doesn't work

parameters = GetUserByUsername.new("lapidary")
p soap.getUserByUsername(parameters) # => does work
