RE: error when trying to run stylesheets with saxon:t

Firstly, this is very Saxon-specific, so it would be better asked on the
saxon-help list (reachable via the Saxon project on SourceForge).

Secondly, the comments in the stylesheet say it was tested with Saxon
9.1.0.3. Which version are you running with?
