reportingservice.render does not work - path not found?

I am having problems getting a call to ReportingService.render to work. I
keep getting this error:
System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException: The path of the item
'/ReportServer/report%20project1?%2fReport+Project1%2fReport1' is not
valid. The full path must be less than 260 characters long, must start
with slash; other restrictions apply. Check the documentation for
complete set of restrictions. -->
This comes from a url that worked in the browswer, which I then cut and
pasted into the code. Here is the rest of the code:
