I haven't tried it yet myself so I can't really help you but I know  
several users are successful in using it. I don't want to point any  
finger at anyone but Christian here on this list seems to be quite  
successful with it ;-)

Once someone knows how to get it to work, it would be nice to  
document it on http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/UserGuide/XMLRPC
