Hi,

I may not fully understand your setup, but at first I was wondering if 
you are hitting an issue because your data is tiled, but I did a quick 
WFS GetFeature request on a tiled shapefile layer with no problems 
(http://labs.gatewaygeomatics.com/cgi-bin/wfs_gateway?SERVICE=wfs&VERSION=1.0.0&REQUEST=GetFeature&TYPENAME=province).

Maybe you should include full working requests so that everyone can 
try/see your problems.
