Using not(...a nd ... ) to select nodes

xslt select node
Hello!

I'm fairly new to XSLT and have been trhown in the deep end here.  :p

I have a problem I've been beating my head against a wall over for a
couple of days, so now that it's good and bloody I've found this mailing
list.  

In a nutshell, I have "item" nodes that have three sub nodes: name, type
and status. 

I'm trying to create a node set that only contains different nodes.  The
problem I'm running into is I seem to be losing nodes that I shouldn't.

I'm using the following to select the nodes:

<xsl:for-each select="items/item[not(name = preceding-sibling::*/name
and type = preceding-sibling::*/type and status =
preceding-sibling::*/status)]">		


An example from the XML might be: truck,silverado,chevy,on
truck,silverado,chevy,off truck,ranger,ford,on 	truck,silverado,chevy,on
truck,silverado,chevy,off

>From that I want to see the first three in a node set.  However, what
I'm getting are the second and third ones.
	
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Chris
