WCF Create service response from XML File

We are needing to test client functionality and performance against several web services. We have the XML soap requests and corresponding responses in several XML files. I am writing a mock service provider that will simply look at the request object, and then load the appropriate XML file and send it back, as the actual SOAP response. I tried something like this:

public Message GetCelebrityDetailsTest(GetCelebrityDetails rq)
    {
        var doc = new XmlDocument();
        doc.Load(@"F:\Websites\WSP\XML\GetCelebrityDetailsRS.xml");
        Message message = Message.CreateMessage(MessageVersion.Soap11, "urn:GetCelebrityDetails", new XmlNodeReader(doc));
        var factory = new ChannelFactory<IRequestChannel>("serviceHttpSoap11Endpoint");
        var channel = factory.CreateChannel();

        Message response = channel.Request(message);

        channel.Close();
        return response;
    }

I added the following to the web.config file

        <client>
        <endpoint address="http://tul1cstfsw3:8001/ListingsService.svc"
         binding="basicHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="" contract="System.ServiceModel.Channels.IRequestChannel"
         name="serviceHttpSoap11Endpoint" />
    </client>

When I try to hit this service, I get this response:

  <Message>The remote server returned an error: (400) Bad Request.</Message>
              <StackTrace>at System.Net.HttpWebRequest.GetResponse()

at System.ServiceModel.Channels.HttpChannelFactory.HttpRequestChannel.HttpChannelRequest.WaitForReply(TimeSpan timeout)</StackTrace>

Note that the XML file being loaded is a complete, valid SOAP response. Any ideas?
