Thanks for the help everyone, I finally tracked it down to a bad web.config file and missing rights on the upload acc. the web.config file had an html commented line in it <!-- --> removing the commented line and I could query the lists.asmx file, uploading was a matter of adding the upload account into the correct group for the sharepoint discussion.
