Vala (like C#) places enum constants in the enum type scope, not like C/C++
in the surrounding scope. So the constants need to be qualified with their
type.

So you need to write:

    case Type.ARRAY:

or even

    case Xmlrpc.Type.ARRAY:

if the above turns out to be ambiguous (which it easily is, since "Type" is
quite generic, so it may easily end up being imported from more than one
namespace).

Dtto for the other cases, of course.
