I am trying to send xml request and it doesn't seem to be working. Can anyone see any problems with my code? I tried the parameters manually on the encoding site and it works fine, so my ftp and all is setup correctly.

Code:
 protected void SendVideo_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {

        string FileLocation = "[URL unfurl="true"]http://216.204.172.199/videos/test.avi";[/URL]
        string sURL = "[URL unfurl="true"]http://manage.encoding.com";[/URL]
        string UserId = "346";
        string UserKey = "someuserkey";
        string Action = "AddMedia";
        string Notify = "per@hotmail.com";
        string Destination = "ftp://EncodingAccount:password@216.204.172.199/videos/test.flv";

        string xml = "<?xml version = '1.0'?>" +
                "<query>" +
                "<userid>" + UserId + "</userId>" +
                "<userkey>" + UserKey + "</userkey>" +
                "<action>" + Action + "</action>" +
                "<source>" + FileLocation + "</source>" +
                "<notify>" + Notify + "</notify>" +
                "<format>" + "<output>flv</output>" + "</format>" +
                "<destination>" + Destination + "</destination>" +
                "</query>";
        Label1.Text = xml.ToString();

        //Our postvars
        byte[] buffer = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(xml);
        //Initialisation, we use localhost, change if appliable
        HttpWebRequest WebReq = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(sURL);
        //Our method is post, otherwise the buffer (postvars) would be useless
        WebReq.Method = "POST";
        //We use form contentType, for the postvars.
        WebReq.ContentType = "application/x-[URL unfurl="true"]www-form-urlencoded";[/URL]
        //The length of the buffer (postvars) is used as contentlength.
        WebReq.ContentLength = buffer.Length;
        //We open a stream for writing the postvars
        Stream PostData = WebReq.GetRequestStream();
        //Now we write, and afterwards, we close. Closing is always important!
        PostData.Write(buffer, 0, buffer.Length);
        PostData.Close();
        //Get the response handle, we have no true response yet!
        HttpWebResponse WebResp = (HttpWebResponse)WebReq.GetResponse();
        

        //Now, we read the response (the string), and output it.
        Stream Answer = WebResp.GetResponseStream();
        StreamReader _Answer = new StreamReader(Answer);
