The error message indicates that the format string was actually  
'##&#160;##0,00&#160;$'. This looks illegal: the space that separates the  
number from the currency unit is the same as the grouping separator.


Try this template:
<xsl:template name="FrenchCurrency">
  <xsl:value-of select="format-number(., '##&#160;##0,00',  
'FrenchDecimalFormat')"/>
  <xsl:text>&#160;$</xsl:text>
</xsl:template>

I see. I'd cConsider renaming the template...
