My fault !!! I've checked the WPS cookbook and there is no reference to
the difference between "Add value" and "Add URL", in my head the "Add
value" is so standard that I've forgot to document it.
Basically, Taverna should just pass the URL as a string value to the
WPS, and the WPS will fetch the data from the URL, this prevents massive
data transfer between Taverna and the WPSs. The PyWPS implementation got
a small modification that even allows for processes to output everything
as URL references as their default output.
Like Alan said "Add value" for the URL, the URL should be treated as a
simple string.

Once again something badly documented, but the WPS exception gives some
nices clues :), basically the WSDL and the WPS's DescribeProcess are not
the same, the WSDL is asking for a process that is not in the WPS
instance, the following explanation is the most likely cause of your
problem:
If you look at the bottom of the WSDL document you have the address
location:
<port
name="PlymouthMarineLaboratory-RemoteSensingGroup.WpsGenericInstance-SoapBranchRev1302_Port"
binding="tns:PlymouthMarineLaboratory-RemoteSensingGroup.WpsGenericInstance-SoapBranchRev1302_Binding">
<address location="*http://rsg.pml.ac.uk/wps/generic.cgi*"/></port>
This is the URL that taverna will use to call the services, and it has
to be *identical *to the WPS instance, the URL in the WSDL document is
fetched from the pywps configure file on the serveradress
serveraddress=*http://rsg.pml.ac.uk/wps/generic.cgi*
Looking at what you did and how it couldn't find the
/usr/lib/cgi-bin/wps.py , it is very likely that you are running the
default pywps config option and/or you didnt configured the serveradress.
I recommend that you remove the ln link, reconfigure your system and see
what is at the end of the WSDL file.
Let me know if it helped
