Perhaps it is because you've used a singleton access function (the 
doc() function returns a single root node for the one document you 
are addressing) with a wildcard "*.xml" URI implying multiple documents.

If you want multiple documents returned with a single call, use the 
collection() function, but ensure first that the syntax you use in 
your URI is supported by the vendor of the XQuery tool.  All URI 
strings for accessing resources are implementation defined and not 
standardized.

I hope this helps.
