It means you haven't specified the -o option on the command line, or the
equivalent in the API. This is needed for resolving a relative URI in the
href attribute.

 I tried to create another variable to specify the

The value of the select attribute of xsl:variable is an XPath expression.
You probably meant to write
<xsl:variable name="dir" select="'d:\results'" />

but that wouldn't do you much good either, because the href value must be a
URI, not a filename.
