this.count
I am actually using Xalan, which is a XSLT 2.0 processor. However I use
XSLT 1.0.  This is why it is always 1. Thanks :)

Your suggestion works as well.

Many thanks,
Houman

In XSLT 1.0 this should give you an error: the argument of count() must
be a
node-set, not a boolean. (It's actually one of the few type errors you
can
get from XSLT 1.0).

In 2.0 the count() of a boolean value is always one (a single value is a
sequence of length one).

I don't know what result you wanted: perhaps

 count(*[starts-with(name(),'DGBUIMSNNumber')][@action='add'])
