why do you think?

you are searching for a node that is not there in your source.
GetNextDocumentResponse in your source belongs to a namespace
"http://www.BargeEx.com/BargeExService" so you must first define a
namespace say "bargeExns"
and use the namespace prefix to pull the nodes you want. The following
should work for you. You have to refer to a node by its namespace, if
the node in the source has a namespace associated with it.



<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:bargeExNs =
"http://www.BargeEx.com/BargeExService"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
	<xsl:template match="node()|@*">
		<xsl:copy>
			<xsl:apply-templates select="node()|@*"/>
		</xsl:copy>
	</xsl:template>
	<xsl:template match = "bargeExNs:EquipmentStatusDocument">
		<xsl:apply-templates select="node()|@*"/>
	</xsl:template>
	</xsl:stylesheet>
