The 'file' attribute of saxon:output is an attribute value template,
which means that if you want it to evaluate an expression to give the
name of the file (as you do here), then you have to put the bit that
you want evaluated between curly brackets ({}s).  Try:

  <saxon:output file="{$file}" method="xml" version="1.0"
                encoding="UTF-8" indent="yes">

instead.  This has the advantage that you can append the extension to
the filename (for example) without making the variable take that
value.  For example:

  <saxon:output file="{$file}.xml" method="xml" version="1.0"
                encoding="UTF-8" indent="yes">

would create a file called myFilename.xml.

I hope that helps,

Jeni
