Compact framework throwing formatException but 'normal' framework doesn't

I'm trying to write a web services client using VB.NET (VS 2003) for a
PocketPC (using .Net Compact Framework 1.0 SP2) either on the emulator or my
device. Other services are working fine however when I try to call a service
that returns a complex object I get a "formatException". The exact same code
works perfectly using .NET Framework 1.0 on my PC. (Aren't the .Net
Framework and .NET Compact Framework the same?)

Unfortunately I don't have access to the server code (written in Java) so I
can't simplify the object to identify which part is causing the problem (see
below for the response I get back from the server) Is there any way to debug
the code that is processing the response? I found some autogenerated code in
VS which invokes the web service but not the code that actually reads the
service response.

Does anybody have any ideas as to how I can get this to work using the .Net
Compact Framework?
