Victor, two questions regarding this (for now). Where does another
server sending the request get a session id to send? And in this
example, and really every one I've seen, a standard method is being used
(node.get in this one), but I'm wondering if part of the issue is that
I'm defining a method in my module as opposed to using one packaged with
the services module. In my case, I'm receiving data, and if its id
matches a cck value in a content type I take the data and update a field
in the node with it, if not, I put the data into a holding queue until
there -is- a node with the id being matched by the cck field.

Maybe this will help. I recently launched
http://projectflowandtracker.com/ (on Pantheon, yay!) in alpha (beta
will come with jquery enhanced usability improvements) and was working
on an everything in code basis; so... I had to import from the legacy
site all the projects, user stories, etc. for the 150-200 folks who
had been using the previous version.
I opted to use services on the legacy site, and did not use the
authentication key, but opted for user login instead, bringing the
stuff over to the new site using the Drupal API
http://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/includes--common.inc/function/xmlrpc/6 which
does not need to be downloaded or required.
/*

config:

Service, User Service, Views Service

*/
$server = 'http://legacy.projectflowandtracker.com/services/xmlrpc';
$anon_session = xmlrpc($server, 'system.connect');
// login as...
// Use anon session id to login with authentication
$user = 'the_user';
$password = 'the_password';
$authenticated_session = xmlrpc($server, 'user.login',
$anon_session['sessid'], $user, $password);
if (xmlrpc_error()) {
$error_num = xmlrpc_errno();
$error = xmlrpc_error();
print_r ($error);
}
/*********** code just to bring a single node ****************/
$xmlrpc_result = xmlrpc($server, 'node.get',
$authenticated_session['sessid'], 2);
if (xmlrpc_error()) {
$error_num = xmlrpc_errno();
$error = xmlrpc_error();
print_r ($error);
}
print '<pre>' . print_r($xmlrpc_result, TRUE) . '</pre>';
This worked for me.
