descendant::file[@name] selects 'file' elements descendant of the context 
node, which have 'name' attribute. If you want to select attribute itself, it 
should be descendant::file/@name.

<xsl:variable name="filename" select="translate(descendant::file/@name,
    'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz',
    'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ')"/>
