RE: Count() nodes ??

I don't know why you are getting zero as the answer. Perhaps the context
node is in a different document? Or perhaps there is a default namespace
in force? Or perhaps there is some silly spelling mistake in the path?
Can you supply a complete stylesheet and source document to reproduce
the problem?

You have been given several answers to this question that essentially
suggest using trial and error to solve the problem. That's not a good
way of getting to the bottom of the problem here.

Incidentally, using //Root rather than /Root to access the document
element is appallingly inefficient.
