Yes, you're using it wrong. You have:

  $emailData/data/[name()=$pSite]/reply_to

I think that you're trying to get the element child of the data
element whose name is the same as the value of the $pSite variable, in
which case you need:

  $emailData/data/*[name()=$pSite]/reply_to
                  ^

Predicates (expressions in []s) filter some set of nodes, which
implies that you need to select the nodes for them to filter ;)
