I would check the value you are using in the key expression. In the sample 
you provided before it looked like it should be "../@ownedby" (the ownedby 
attribute on the parent of the context node), which of course in the code I 
proposed is bound to the $ownedby variable.

Having the wrong expression there, or calling it from the wrong context 
node (i.e. binding the variable to the wrong node or a node that doesn't 
exist) will affect your results.

Try using an <xsl:message> statement (assuming your processor supports it) 
to announce this value en passant: that should give you a clue.

If you're still stuck, could we please see a sample of the source along 
with the template as it currently stands?

Thanks--
Wendell
