Well done. Your use of namespaces in your stylesheet is correct.

I had thought that the matching expression  should be something like
<xsl:template match="/agr:SiebelMessage/agr:Message"), then the
collection select would just have been <xsl:for-each
select="collection('file:///c:/tmp/?select=*.xml'/agr:Account">

No matter what I did I could not get that working, thought I'm sure
it's posible.

Not sure what you are trying to do there ... I think you are conflating different concepts. The collection() function returns a set of root nodes, so you are obliged to find your Account element with a full path from the root node of each document. There are no shortcuts available by any concept of matching part of the XPath address before calling the collection() function.

Seems I need to read up on namespaces and xslt as there is much I do
not understand

You can read what I have to say about namespaces in my PDF book (pp.29-33) that I sell off my web site (the entire book can be downloaded for free preview; I ask that people pay for the book if they decide after previewing it that they want to keep it; I wish more people would be honest about that).

You can hear what I have to say about namespaces at the 54m10s mark of Module 1 Lesson 1 (Lecture 2) of my XSLT/XPath training video (you do not need to create an account in order to view the free content) ... simply open that lecture and drag the slider to the time:

Five hours of my 24-hour long lecture are made freely available. The lecture was recorded over 5 days in August 2008. The course includes hands-on exercises and I review all of the answers. The video is also available to purchase as a DVD-ROM for sharing (not copying) amongst your colleagues. Just yesterday I reduced the cost of watching the remaining 19 hours of the online video and having access to the exercises. This is the 2008 version of the material I still teach when I travel the world delivering my XSLT, XQuery and XSL-FO classes. Last week I delivered my combination XSLT/XQuery class in London England, next month I'm delivering the same combination class in the eastern US.

I hope this helps.
