Matt,

I'm not 100% sure but I believe you would need the newest REXML as I think 
some changes had to happen from within REXML as well. For some reason I seem 
to remember reading this somewhere - possibly in Sean or NaHi's 
announcements, not sure.

Thanks for trying it out. As per the README I am also experimenting with a 
RESTful version of this same client, which of course would not require SOAP4R.
