Thanks for the suggestion but that is what I'm doing at the moment when 
trying to access the method. I can access methods published through a 
Plone page on the same server instance without any problems.

The problem seems to be that the XML-RPC method isn't being published or 
bound to the IMZTag interface for some reason.
