<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=592442815-15072005><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>Assuming your XML snippet has a cut-and-paste error,
missing 'Batch' and 'FIXML' end tags, I ran it in my app and the nodeList does
not come back NULL. It does, however, come back empty. If you take out the
namespace declaration in the root node, FIXML, it works as expected.

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=592442815-15072005><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>I'm pretty sure the problem is that this changes the
namespace of the element, FIXML, and this is why the XPATH does not see it. I
can't tell you what to do to fix it though. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>
