I assume you mean "doesn't".

What tool are you using to evaluate your XPath?

The fact that you are getting back the count of the nodes, rather than the 
value or an actual node, sounds suspiciously like evaluating an array in a 
scalar context in Perl.  Are you using XML::LibXSLT, by any chance?  If so, 
the findnodes method returns an array of XML::LibXML::Node objects, which 
(in a scalar context) would have exactly the behavior you describe here.

HTH,
Chris
