Your problem isn't with variables it is with Xpath's generally.

//RecSubjCategories[Category 

refers to RecSubjCategories and Category elements in the null namespace
you want
//p:RecSubjCategories[p:Category 
and stick 
xmlns:p="http://www.tempuri.org/dsProducts.xsd"
on your xsl:stylesheet so that p:denotes your namespace.

Also (Mike, are you there?) I'm not sure about
<xsl:variable name="xml"

a Variable name has to be a Qname which means, more or less that it has
to have the same rules as XML element names. You can't call an element
"xml" as any name starting with xml (or XmL etc) is reserved.

I'm not sure if that reservation is supposed to also apply to XPath
variables. I suppose not, although it looks dangerous practice to me...
