Can UpdateListItems or any other available SP2010 web service create a document set

Question

I can easily create a new list item or in the example below a folder with code like...

                updateService.Lists us = new updateService.Lists();
                us.Credentials = SPWebServiceUserCredentials;
                us.Url = SProotURL + siteName + "_vti_bin/lists.asmx";
                XmlNode ndListView = us.GetListAndView(listName, "");
                XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
                XmlElement batchElement = doc.CreateElement("Batch");
                batchElement.SetAttribute("OnError", "Continue");
                batchElement.SetAttribute("ListVersion", "1");
                batchElement.InnerXml = "<Method ID='1' Cmd='New'>" +
                        "<Field Name='ID'>New</Field>" + "<Field Name='FSObjType'>1</Field>" +
                        "<Field Name='BaseName'>" + "New_Folder" + "</Field></Method>";

                XmlNode ndReturn = us.UpdateListItems(listName, batchElement);

But what I would really like to be able to do is create a document set, I thought about creating a folder and then updating it to be a set but although you can chnage the Content Type it still behaves as a folder "view" and not a Document Set... any ideas?

Answer 2

The links to Steve Curran's blogs refer to creating a new document set content type remotely BUT what I want to do and I hope it should be a bit easier... is to create a document set in a given document library for an existing document set content type remotely i.e. via web services?
