xpath generate id
You say that the path expression points to a valid node in the XML tree.
The evidence suggests that it doesn't.

Perhaps you've fallen into the old trap of having a default namespace
declaration? Or perhaps the context node is in a different document from
the one you are assuming?

Show us the source file and the full stylesheet.
