   I think that the problem is not on your (ACD) site. But Taverna does 
not support fully this type of input. This is the situation so far:

   * In Taverna you can create more 'new inputs' (by clicking several
times on the 'new input' button'. And then for each such new input you can 
either copy and paste its value, or click on 'load' to load it from a 
file.
   Such list may be sent to a Soaplab service correctly. I said 'may'
because I need to check it because so far nobody was trying to use such
kind of input in Taverna for Soaplab services. If it does not then I will 
fix it in Taverna.

   * However, the procedure just described above requires manually load 
each of the input files into Taverna before starting the workflow. And 
this may not be too user friendly (in case there are many input files). 
Tom may consider to add a better support in the Taverna GUI for these 
cases.

   Summary is that I will try to make the first option working, and you 
try to communicate with Tom to find how the second option is prioritized 
:-)

   Regards,
   Martin
