NetMsmqBinding fails with Signature Is Invalid on Windows 2003R2

Using the latest available Windows SDK and WinFx RTCs as of 10th Jan 2006.

Created a very simple Service, hosted in a console Application. Created a
very simple client console application. Got everything working using
BasicHttpBinding and using Svcutil to create the config file.

Then modified host to advertise MSMQ end point instead by changing the
binding of the endpoint to netMsmqBinding and the address to
net.msmq://localhost/private/propagationin.

I then pointed SVCUTIL at the same base URI of the host but it magically
created the a different configuration file where I have changed the
authentication mode and protection level to None because the Windows Server
R2 machine is not part of a domain. The client can send the message very
quickly but the message ends up in the transaction dead letter queue with
"The signature is invalid".

Any ideas how to modify the config file to work?! Any checks I should be
doing? I am trying to live the dream by establishing a working
service/consumer, change the config files to use a different address/binding
and have it work perfectly!

Client config file:

<client>
<endpoint address="net.msmq://localhost/private/PropagationIn"
bindingConfiguration="NetMsmqBinding_IPropagate"
binding="customBinding"
contract="IPropagate" name="PropagationEndPoint"/>
</client>
<bindings>
<customBinding>
<binding name="NetMsmqBinding_IPropagate">
<binaryMessageEncoding maxReadPoolSize="64"
maxWritePoolSize="16" />
<msmqTransport manualAddressing="false" maxBufferPoolSize="524288"
maxMessageSize="65536"
deadLetterQueue="net.msmq://localhost/System$;DEADXACT"
durable="true" exactlyOnce="true" maxImmediateRetries="5"
maxRetryCycles="2147483647"
poisonMessageHandling="EnabledIfSupported"
rejectAfterLastRetry="false"
retryCycleDelay="00:10:00" timeToLive="1.00:00:00"
useSourceJournal="false" useMsmqTracing="false"
maxPoolSize="8"
convertAddressUsingActiveDirectory="false">
<msmqTransportSecurity msmqAuthenticationMode="None"
msmqEncryptionAlgorithm="RC4Stream"
msmqProtectionLevel="None"
msmqSecureHashAlgorithm="SHA1" />
</msmqTransport>
</binding>
</customBinding>
</bindings>

Because the VM was not running in a domain I set the msmqAuthenticationMode
to None as well as the protection level. However I had failed to create the
MSMQ queue with the "Authenticated" option turned off! Doh.
