Itbs an error to try, even if the file hasn't yet been written.

One way round this might be to use fn:transform(0 to do your
transformation - this returns the results from xsl:result-document in a
map instead of writing them out, so you can process them at that time.


Another approach might be to use xsl:iterate, passing a map or sequence
of filenames you've processed as a parameter.
