I'm not sure about the exact problem you're having, but it might be  
worth trying it the other way 'round since that can be done in two  
steps rather than three anyway:

1) Create the /common/document attached to the topic and get it's ID

2) Upload the content and use the document=[ID from step 1)] argument  
on the upload service
