WCF Error Deserializing body of request

Question

I get the following error when attempting to consume a wcf web service with a wcf client:

Error in deserializing body of request message for operation 'GetUpcomingRaces'. OperationFormatter encountered an invalid Message body. Expected to find node type 'Element' with name 'GetUpcomingRaces' and namespace 'http://tempuri.org/'. Found node type 'Element' with name 'e:EncryptedData' and namespace 'http://www.w3.org/2001/04/xmlenc#'

My service is being hosted on local IIS via VS2010, is using basicHttpBinding, message security mode, certificate authententer code hereication and CertificateValidationMode = PeerTrust. My system.ServiceModel sections of the service and client .config files are attached.

Any help resolving this error is appreciated.
