The correct approach is to run the XSL transformation separately and
examine the resulting FO document whether the table is actually there.
If not, it's the transformation. If the table is there and has the
expected data in it, it's either a problem with the FO or a bug in
FOP.

Possible problems:
- Your XML source generates two cells per row, the table however
 has 4 columns declared.
- The table is nested into block with margins and text-indents,
which are cumulated and inherited to the table cells, thereby
shifting text off the cells.
- It may be possible that you have a FOP version which does not
like mixed text and blocks. Altough this is alloowed by the spec,
FOP behaves sometimes a bit unpreditably. Try to use
 <xsl:apply-templates select="*"/>
in the template for RECORDITEM to test for this.
