Google Adsense API Headers with ColdFusion

This weekend I was having trouble connecting to the Google Adsense API. I was certain my headers were set up correctly, and yet google responded that my headers didn't exist. Turns out I had my namespace incorrect. Once that was rectified the API was easy to get at. I haven't played with the data all that much, but they sure make it easy thus far.
On a side note, it is disappointing that they don't have sample CF code. If I write enough using the API I will submit it to them.
Here is a quick example of getting the adsense services a publisher is subscribed to.
<cfscript>
myvar = CreateObject("webservice", "https://sandbox.google.com/api/adsense/v2/AccountService?wsdl");
// these is sandbox developer account information for testing
AddSOAPRequestHeader(myvar, "http://www.google.com/api/adsense/v2", "developer_email", "sandboxdeveloper@google.com");
AddSOAPRequestHeader(myvar, "http://www.google.com/api/adsense/v2", "developer_password", "devpass");
AddSOAPRequestHeader(myvar, "http://www.google.com/api/adsense/v2", "client_id", "ca-pub-8230466390320431");
</cfscript>
<!--- call function to get services this publisher has subscribed to --->
<cfset servicelist = myvar.getAllSyndicationServices(1)>
<cfset mylength = arraylen(servicelist)>
<cfoutput>
<cfloop from="1" to="#mylength#" index="i">
#servicelist[i].id# #servicelist[i].type#
<br />
</cfloop>
</cfoutput>
myvar = CreateObject("webservice", "https://sandbox.google.com/api/adsense/v2/AccountService?wsdl");
// these is sandbox developer account information for testing
AddSOAPRequestHeader(myvar, "http://www.google.com/api/adsense/v2", "developer_email", "sandboxdeveloper@google.com");
AddSOAPRequestHeader(myvar, "http://www.google.com/api/adsense/v2", "developer_password", "devpass");
AddSOAPRequestHeader(myvar, "http://www.google.com/api/adsense/v2", "client_id", "ca-pub-8230466390320431");
</cfscript>
<!--- call function to get services this publisher has subscribed to --->
<cfset servicelist = myvar.getAllSyndicationServices(1)>
<cfset mylength = arraylen(servicelist)>
<cfoutput>
<cfloop from="1" to="#mylength#" index="i">
#servicelist[i].id# #servicelist[i].type#
<br />
</cfloop>
</cfoutput>
Resulting in:
ca-pub-8230466390320431 ContentAds
partner-pub-8230466390320431 SearchAds
ca-ref-pub-8230466390320431 ReferralAds

I'm curious to know if you've played around with any of the other Adsense API's, I've been fighting with these things for a week now and just not sure where i'm going wrong... in particular the aggregateReports .
