That was it. Chaning my outgoing message in the XSD from this:
<xs:element name="getApplicationUsersResponse">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="users" type="userList" />
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
To this:
<xs:complexType name="userList">
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="users" type="user" maxOccurs="unbounded" minOccurs="0"
/>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
and the now the client works correctly....!
