Is the DTD in the working directory? How about any files referenced in the
DTD (e.g., entity files, includes, etc.)? If not, your transformation would
fail. You should be getting some error messages in that case, but perhaps
they're getting logged somewhere that you haven't found yet.

That's the first place I'd check, anyway. Good luck!
