Why doesn't this web service call post to the list?

Hi,

First time poster, here.

I am trying to create a SharePoint 2007 .aspx feedback form on a page on the same site where the list (Issues) I want to submit to exists. I'm trying to use Lists.asmx web service, UpdateListItems, to post to the Issues list. The page looks great...the problem is, it doesn't work. Can anyone tell me what I'm missing?

Thanks, ~R

Below is the code for the entire page:
