I can't say that I know the particulars of the error message you report,
but I have repeatedly made a mistake when passing a string as a parameter
to a stylesheet, so that I suspect that your problem may also be mine.

I'm sure one of the experts will correct me if I don't have this precisely
correct, but as I understand it, a string passed as a parameter which
is enclosed in only one set of quotation marks will be interpreted as
a node-set, while a doubly-quoted string will be interpreted as a literal
string.

Look at the program that passes the parameter and see if your parameter
is enclosed in two sets of quotation marks. If not, add a second set
and try the transformation again. (i.e. "TRUE" -> "'TRUE'")
