VFAQ.  Once an XSLT variable is bound to a value, you can't change it.  By
moving the variable element inside your for-each loop:

<xsl:for-each select="//manyrows">
  <xsl:variable name="hello" select="manyrows/rowval"/>
  <!-- etc. -->
</xsl:for-each>

you can then have a new value for $hello in each iteration.  However, this
variable will only be in scope within the for-each loop and would cease to
exist once the loop has ended.
