A: 

Can you post the service contract in your assembly, and the accompanying config file? Can you also post the command line used to invoke WcfSvcHost? I don't guess you've used that in VS2005 to debug (since it was only released with VS2008) - maybe there's something wrong there.

At first glance, it looks like the service type referenced in the config file probably isn't available in the service assembly.

In a roundabout way that is what it was. I had an old referenced dll in the windows assembly. Even though I specified the dll in the bin, directory, upon rebuild, VS for some reason switched to the assembly in the GAC. Removing the old assembly from the GAC fixed the issue.
