i think the problem may be that you had e.g.-

<xsl:variable name="year">2000</xsl:variable>

-so $year is a result tree fragment (in XSLT), so XT maps it to a
com.jclark.xsl.sax.ResultTreeFragment (in Java).  to get a string, mapped to a
java.lang.String, either (1) start with-

<xsl:variable name="year" select="'2000'"/>

-or (2) change $year to string($year).

there also seem to be some closing brackets missing.  using method (1), i think
you want something like-

<xsl:value-of
select="date:to-string(date:new(int:parse-int($year),int:parse-int
($month),int:parse-int($day)))"/>
