I’ve to set mimeheaders to get rid of this error message.

MimeHeaders mimeHeader = message.getMimeHeaders();
//change header’s attribute
mimeHeader.setHeader(“Content-Type”, “text/xml”);
mimeHeader.setHeader(“SOAPACTION”, “http://www.abc.com/ProcedureName”);

You can also get this if you call the wrong method. For example, you get error if you call sites.asmx for method GetAllSubWebCollection, instead of calling webs.asmx.
Server did not recognize the value of HTTP Header SOAPAction: http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/GetAllSubWebCollection.

Reading this, and then deleting the web reference in the client app and recompiling solved my problem. I had changed the namespace, but it was still on the same server.
