[xsl] String match Revisited

[tanz@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

I have the following template, which I call in place of the
<xsl:apply-templates select="/eventsCalendar/eventRecord"/>
(see below for xml, xsl).
As a mechanism to check that:
> If the 'start month' is the same - to apply eventRecord template
> but as soon as the 'start month' differs then to apply ViewEvents template

<xsl:template name="monthMatch">
   <xsl:param name="text" select="/eventsCalendar/eventRecord/start/month"
/>
   <xsl:variable name="match" select="contains($text, .)" />
   <xsl:choose>
      <xsl:when test="$match">
         <xsl:call-template name="monthMatch">
            <xsl:with-param name="text"
                            select="substring-before($text, $match)" />
         </xsl:call-template>
          <xsl:apply-templates select="/eventsCalendar/eventRecord"/>
      </xsl:when>
      <xsl:otherwise>
       <xsl:call-template name="ViewEvents"/>
       </xsl:otherwise>
   </xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>

Can someone point out where I am going wrong.

Thanks

Tanz
