 <xsl:param name="target" select="t:Home"/>

That selects the t:Home child of the current node (which is the root node)
You need to put the full path from teh root there (or something like //)

If however you are planning to pass in a string as the value of this
parameter then see any of teh three or four thread yesterday and teh day
before that have explained why you can't use string valued parameters
like that.  XSLT (in common with almost every other programming
language, other than macro processors) does not allow arbitrary
parts of the language syntax to be replaced by string valued variables.

your default setting of teh target parameter _is_ a node set (possibly
empty)  so you'd only get this message if you had specified a different
value, and changed the type to a string.

the syntax t:Home is a single token in the language you can not
just arbitrarily split up tokens and replace parts of the token name by
a variable reference.
