Hey Mike,

Looks like a namespace issue.  What you think you are able to access using 
"record/datafield" will return nothing.  You can prove this by taking your 
default namespace out or properly referencing your namespace in your XSLT 
(e.g. "s:record/s:datafield").  Without XSLT its tought to say for sure but 
this is usually the scenario in cases where there is a default namespace 
used in the XML.

If this isnt the case let us know and we can help you further...

Best of luck!
