One thing to do is to get the transformation working using the
command-line versions of the tools before entrusting it to compiled
code.

You would then find the immediate cause of your problems:

<xsl:template> is not allowed at this point.  It seems likely that you
would want to instead use:

   <xsl:apply-templates select='/' mode='ffp'/>
