You are exactly right, of course.  I'm sorry.  I didn't pay enough  
attention when I was fiddling with this problem earlier.

I have sat over here fiddling with this thing half the night and I  
can't seem to get that far.  When I run your server and client I get  
a type error for the arguments.  I see this on error the client:

/usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/xmlrpc/client.rb:546:in `do_rpc': HTTP-Error:  
500 Internal Server Error  (RuntimeError)
         from /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/xmlrpc/client.rb:420:in `call2'
         from /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/xmlrpc/client.rb:410:in `call'
         from client.rb:6

And the server reports:

I haven't figured this out yet, but I'm still trying.  I'll get it  
eventually.

Can I ask what version of Ruby you are using?  Mine is:

$ ruby -v
ruby 1.8.6 (2007-09-23 patchlevel 110) [i686-darwin8.10.1]
