Well, the first thing to note is that the src attribute must take a
URI, not a file name.

So, assuming you can correct your xml file to specify a url rather
than a file name, you can then use xsl:element plus xsl:attribute 
(instead of coding fo:external-graphic as a literal result element).

Within the xsl:attribute for the src attribute, you can specify
select="CoverPage/Graphics/text()".
