Hello,
  I know this is an old thread but I didn't see any resolution and I am getting this same error.  It tries to buffer then sits and waits for a few seconds then gives me a yellow exclimation mark next to my new buffer layer.

This is what I get in Fiddler.   GET /CSIS/CSISISAPI.dll/?request?af862c7c-aa04-4eb1-bb1f-3bec1885c892;CCSISSvrCONN%3A%3AwaitForEvent%3B3%3B300%3B3%3B120 HTTP/1.1
User-Agent: CSISHttpReq

Martin,

When you configured the geoprocessing tool in SLViewer, you would have noticed two options for featureset input parameter. Did you choose "Interactively" or "By selecting a layer from the map"?

You can also enable Geoprocessing messages in your service  and use debugging tools like fiddler to find the cause of failure.
