Extending Magento API - Invalid Path

Question

I am trying to extend the Magento API - I've followed the steps from most tutorials and have done the following. I keep getting an invalid resource path error from magenta when I try to call any of the extended api methods.

Create a Module XML descriptor in app/etc/modules called Woe_Services.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<config>
    <modules>
        <Woe_Services>
            <active>true</active>
            <codePool>local</codePool>
        </Woe_Services>
    </modules>
</config>

I created a corresponding directory structure:

-app
--code
---local
----Woe
-----Services

------etc
-------|api.xml
-------|config.xml

------Model
------- Catalog
-------- Product
--------- Attribute
---------- Api.php

My config.xml file is as follows:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<config>
    <modules>
        <Woe_Services>
            <version>1.0</version>
        </Woe_Services>
    </modules>
    <global>
        <models>
            <catalog>
                <rewrite>
                    <product_attribute_api>Woe_Services_Model_Catalog_Product_Attribute_Api</product_attribute_api>
                </rewrite>
            </catalog>
        </models>
    </global>
</config>

My api.xml file is as follows:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config>
    <api>
        <resources>
            <catalog_product_attribute translate="title"
                module="catalog">
                <title>Product attributes API</title>
                <model>catalog/product_attribute_api</model>
                <acl>catalog/product</acl>
                <methods>
                    <create translate="title" module="catalog">
                        <title>Create new product attribute</title>
                        <acl>catalog/product/attribute/create</acl>
                    </create>
                    <delete translate="title" module="catalog">
                        <title>Delete product attribute</title>
                        <acl>catalog/product/attribute/delete</acl>
                    </delete>
                    <addoptions translate="title" module="catalog">
                        <title>Add attribute options</title>
                        <acl>catalog/product/attribute/addoptions</acl>
                    </addoptions>
                </methods>
            </catalog_product_attribute>
        </resources>
        <acl>
            <resources>
            </resources>
        </acl>
    </api>
</config>

Finally, Api.php file is as follows:

Make sure you turn rewrite on in the server config.
