this should be
<xsl:output method="html" indent="yes" />

this is matching the root not ScripCommsMessage as HostSlot is not a child
of the root you get nothing there
change it to /ScripCommsMessage

>	<b><xsl:value-of select="HostSlot" /></b>
>	<xsl:apply-templates select="/SearchForHolderResponse" />
></xsl:template>

this is saying apply-templates to the top level element
SearchForHolderResponse which is not a child of the root you get nothing
there
remove the leading "/"

>
><xsl:template match="SearchForHolderResponse" >

this never gets hit because of the above apply-templates


>	<xsl:value-of select="FirstRecordHandle" />
>	<xsl:for-each select="Items/Item">
