For the original sendMessage call you need to pass empty strings rather than 
nils for the cc and bcc arguments. I've just tried this and it worked fine:

res = dcopref.sendMessage("rdale at foton.es", "richard.j.dale at gmail.com", 
"", "", "test dcop message", "body of message",[])

Boolean and other non-string arguments should certainly work, and I'm not sure 
what the problem is. Can you post the specific calls that don't work?
