RE: xsl apply template is not working

You seem to have a classic positional grouping problem, where you are
turning

<header/>
<detail/>
<detail/>
<detail/>
<header/>
<detail/>
<detail/>
<detail/>

into

<record>
  <detail/>
  <detail/>
  <detail/>
</record>
<record>
  <detail/>
  <detail/>
  <detail/>
</record>

Try a google for "XSLT positional grouping".

In XSLT 2.0 you do this with <xsl:for-each-group
group-starting-with="header"/>.

It's harder in 1.0: there are two usual approaches:

(a) a recursive walk over the sibling axis using <xsl:apply-templates
select="following-sibling::*[1]">

(b) converting it into a value-based grouping problem (see
http://www.jenitennison.com/xslt/grouping) by using
generate-id(preceding-sibling::header[1]) as the grouping key for detail
elements.
