System.ServiceModel.FaultException: The item tcm: does not exist

Question

I am using Tridion core service to delete failed publish transactions and reschedule them. But I am get the following error:

System.ServiceModel.FaultException`1[ABC.CoreServiceReference.CoreServiceFault]: The item tcm:0-31371-66560 does not exist.

This is happening in every method I have created whenever I am trying to access any Tridion Item.

Code snippet:

To Create the Connection I am using the following code:

private bool CreateCoreServiceClientInstance()
    {
        try
        {
           m_serverBaseUrl = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings[CommonConstants.CmsServerBaseURL];
            //m_serverBaseUrl = (string)serverConfSection["serverBaseURL"];
            if (m_serverBaseUrl == null)
            {
                throw new Exception("Error in getting serverBaseURL from the web.config");
            }

             var netTcpBinding = new NetTcpBinding
            {
                MaxReceivedMessageSize = 2147483647,
                ReaderQuotas = new System.Xml.XmlDictionaryReaderQuotas
                {
                    MaxStringContentLength = 2147483647,
                    MaxArrayLength = 2147483647
                }
            };

            //Core service connection through TCP binding

             var remoteAddress = new EndpointAddress("net.tcp://" + m_serverBaseUrl + 
                                                     ":2660/CoreService/netTcp_2010");
             m_objChannelFactory = new ChannelFactory<ISessionAwareCoreService2010>
                                                     (netTcpBinding, remoteAddress);
             m_coreServiceInstance = m_objChannelFactory.CreateChannel();
             m_coreServiceInstance.Impersonate(UserId);             

            return true;
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            CloseCoreServiceClientInstance();
            throw ex;
        }
    }

Code I am using with the client to delete the transaction:

public Boolean DeleteTransaction(string transactionId)
    {
        Boolean result = false;
        try
        {
            UtilityHelper.LogInTextFile("Client Creation Started");
            CreateCoreServiceClientInstance();
            UtilityHelper.LogInTextFile("Client Created Started");
            m_coreServiceInstance.Delete(transactionId);
            UtilityHelper.LogInTextFile(transactionId + " Deleted");
            CloseCoreServiceClientInstance();
            result = true;
        }
        catch (Exception exc)
        {
            UtilityHelper.LogInTextFile(exc.ToString());
            CloseCoreServiceClientInstance();         
        }
        return result;
    }

Please validate that the m_serverBaseUrl that you are using is the right one, where your data is, it so often happens that we keep connecting to a different instance.
