This creates an RTF (Result Tree Fragment) rather than a node-set.  If you
populate the variable like this:

<xsl:variable name="xmTmplt" select="document('usr_member.xml')//FLDS"/>

You will get a node-set in the variable.  Note also that //  is an expensive
production for a processor.  Point the select statement directly at the node
parenting your desired node-set.

<xsl:for-each select="$xmTmplt/FLD">

will then function properly.
